[sounds like these businesses are smartening up - sort of.  At least they
admitted they were wrong, and apologized, but when will these incidents stop
happening in the first place?

Florida has a clear law that protects breastfeeding in public.

A Florida theme park is apologizing to a St. John's woman who was told to
cover up while she breastfed her daughter or leave the premises.

Cheryl Cruz said she was shaken by an encounter on Tuesday while she was
breastfeeding her 10-month-old child, Kalli, on a bench at the Universal
Studios park in Orlando.

"I'm just feeding her, minding my own business, there's hardly anyone at the
resort, [and] suddenly this lady comes over to me and says, 'Listen I want
you to cover up, this is a family affair,' " Cruz said Thursday.

He said the company has apologized to Cruz and that she can expect more.

"We're going to have the specific team members involved in this incident
apologize to her, and we're going to make sure that our team members know
how to proceed in these kinds of situations, moving forward," Schroeder
said.

Schroeder said Universal has talked to employees about the issue before.

He would not say whether Cruz will be compensated.
