I have permission to post this message on behalf of a member of another
list that I subscribe to.  I do hope someone can offer advice - I am unable
to as I am in the UK and have no idea what, if any, legislation protects
the rights of a breastfeeding mother in the US.

"I have a friend with a newborn who is completely breastfed. My friend is
attending college full-time to get her degree. She is close to finishing
and does not want to stop now.  Her class started yesterday and her teacher
told her she could not bring her infant to class.  I always understood that
as long as the baby is quiet, she has the right as a breastfeeding mom to
bring her. My friend is very descrete and has done this with her three
other children and never had a problem.  The teacher told her it is not her
right and she has 3 days to submit in writing her proof. This really sucks
as she is doing her best for her family and the baby.  Can anyone provide
websites or information that can help?"

Any comments or advice are very welcome.

Sincere thanks
