Hi, Mimi,

That happened here in our fair city (Round Rock is just north of Austin).  I
found this link for you:
http://www.kvue.com/news/tuma/stories/110904kvue2Breastfeed-eh.3e378599.html

Here’s a reprint of a follow up article our local paper did:
http://www.nurseatstarbucks.com/donotcoverup.html. This reporter did a super
job. She interviewed me, and although there aren’t any quotes, I was very
happy that she included the bit about:

“But experts say the cleavage clashes with a culture that worships sex, such
as the breast buffet at Hooter's or TV characters who flash with maximum
exposure. That's a deviation from the strait-laced Victorian age, when it
wasn't unusual to see a photo of a breast-feeding mother showcased above the
fireplace.”  

I had shared Milk, Money and Madness with her, and this Victorian photograph
of a mother nursing her older baby—breast bared, but ankles modestly
covered. 

This lovely Victorian picture is available from Sierra Lactation (no
financial interest) which exhibits at a lot of bf conferences, btw.
