Re: California breatfeeding mothers read here
1. Do you breastfeed in public Yes, I also eat in public too.
If yes answer the following questions, if not why?
2. Where do you breastfeed when you are in public? (Bathroom stall, nursing room provided by the mall, the closest bench, ect). Whatever looks cozy but I usually find a secluded area or turn my back to the crowd.
3a. Do you cover up when you breastfeed? Y/N. No ususally. If I cover up then I really catch the attention of the crowd (exception was church once, did cover up there). When I cover up, baby freaks out and keeps pulling the cover up off.
If no:
3b. have you ever been asked by an employee of the store you were in or any other stranger to cover up? No. Usually I will find a mommy (ie MOtherhood maternity) or child/family friendly place to feed. I have gone into dressing rooms so that my toddler is near by while I feed the baby.
4. Have you ever been asked to stop breastfeeding or leave? Nope
5. Do you know your rights to breastfeed in public? Yup
6. Would you be interested in carrying a copy of your breastfeeding rights by LAW to pass out to any one that harasses you?Would love it.
