Hello to my fellow LC Lactnuts,

I need some help...have a client who was breastfeeding her 9 month old
son in a restaurant and was told that she would have to leave, nurse the
baby in the bathroom, etc. that she couldn't do it "out in the open".  I
advised her of the NY State Law giving women and children "the right" to
breastfeed in public...a restaurant is considered a public place, is it
not?  (even if it's owned privately).  This mom just wants the
restaranteurs to be fined/penalized and in the process to learn that 0.
breastfeeding moms and babies are the norm, not some perverted couple
that need to be dashed off the scene.  Are there lawyers that specialize
in this sort of case?  (we live in Niagara Falls, NY)  What plan of
action should my client take?  Any help is sincerely appreciated!

Sincerely,
Wendy Lee Reddy
