Target Nurse-In

Attn Laleche Leaders

I am certain that this is a hot topic for select Plainfield Mom's so I thought I would share the following link and blurb about a pending rally coming to our area and nationwide.  

The article states:

Breastfeeding in public is always a debatable issue, but many people say that as long as the mother isn't exposing too much of her breasts, it is fine. Lisa from Kansas said, "I am for breastfed babies, but this needs to be done in a discreet manner. For me, I consider this a personal thing and would not have done this in a public facility."

The bottom line

Being harassed (by Target Stores) is one of the last things a new mother should have to worry about. Michelle, the mother involved in this story, had this to say to sum up her feelings about the incident: "It saddens me that mothers are being treated this way as if breastfeeding is vile and offensive. If this would have happened to me with the first child I nursed I would have considered giving up on nursing due to embarrassment and that is what concerns me the most."

There is a nationwide nurse-in scheduled for Dec. 28 at 10 a.m. at every local Target store. Check out theFacebook page for more info.
