Apparently Starbucks employees in Maryland are asking breastfeeding women to cover up or go in the restroom. And the women are fighting back!!

Here's emmagrant01's take on things: What she said.

I hate Starbucks so much.


Oh, and wtf? Why are my hands all dried out even when I've been using gloves to clean all day? Hmph.

Well, I suppose it would benefit the mother in that she would be safe in the knowledge that there wasn't a single thing anyone could say to her for it...

I don't think we have any laws on breastfeeding over here - it's not something I usually have to think about...

I don't honestly think we really should have actual sections in places but it might make life a bit easier... Hey - maybe we could even have special buses that you can only go on if you're nursing, and shops that only serve nursing mums*...




*I'm kidding, honestly.

As of 2003 there was a bill on the books in Scotland. It only would support mom's rights if they were nursing babies under the age of two, but it's a start. I wonder if anything ever happened with it.

There's nothing in England that I've found in my tiny amount of Googling.
