[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pro breastfeeding. I extended nursed multiple children. But I'm kind of with the the bar on this. They didn't tell her no - they offered to hold it. Just like you can't just take milk through at the airport, they test it. Anyway, it sounds like poor planning on her part. This isn't the FAA, it's a private bar. She had plenty of options.

1) Don't pump. Unless the babies are newborns or you're going to be gone overnight you'll live.

2) Bring an ice pack and leave it in the car.

3) Leave it in the fridge like the bar suggested.

4) Do some research or call ahead if you're going to an adults-only, no outside liquids place.

5) Pump at the bar instead. Then they know it is milk.

Yes, you can breastfeed anywhere but I don't fault the bar for not wanting to risk their license and/or not knowing the rule. I'm sure it has never come up. Not to mention, "allowed to nurse anywhere" doesn't supersede "no kids allowed." I know her kid wasn't there but that logic says she should be allowed to bring the baby in if she's nursing even though kids aren't allowed.

And going to the press was really over dramatic. [/quote]

You would let some delinquent bartenders have access to the breastmilk your child will drink?  What kind of irresponsible mother are you?[/quote]

What is a "delinquent" bartender? And that was only ONE option. What kind of mother am I? The kind that thinks things through before I go out! I certainly wouldn't give it to my kids after it was stored, but I would toss it or store it and toss it. Pump and dump is best if she was drinking anyway. How long was this woman out that she a) couldn't wait to pump but b) was not out long enough for the milk to spoil in a warm, sweaty bar?[/quote]
