NYC is covered by NY State's breastfeeding law that women are entitled
to breastfeed anywhere they are otherwise allowed to be. It is a civil
right in NYS to breastfeed anywhere regardless of whether or not the
nipple shows during or incidental to the breastfeeding, and there are
penalties (fine and/or jail time) for persons interfering with that
right. The whole preamble of the bill gives reasons why it is in the
State's best interest to promote breastfeeding!
Time to start educating FAO! They need a baby friendly lesson.
