i b/l the law actually states a woman has a right to bf her child anywhere
THE CHILD is allowed to be. for example, children are not allowed in bars, many
court proceedings and tattoo parlors. therefore a woman could not bring an
infant to any of those places and expect legal protection in nursing there...

winter when told i was not permitted to nurse my toddler and preschooler in the
nursery of my gym and asked to do it in the bathroom. the same jacqui
gruttadauria who now enjoys childcare there for free when working out due to staff
there who were not up on breastfeeding law! :-)
