Hello,
Last night on a flight from Denver to Cedar Rapids Iowa on United Airlines my 
daughter was trying to nurse her crying 9 month old (who by the way is an 
exclusively breastfeed 33 week preemie). It is a bit of a long story, but the 
main point is she was told by the flight attendant she should have 
prepared "some other method" of calming her baby during the flight. She has 
filed a formal complaint and is waiting a response from the airline.

I know this has happened before and has been challenged legally. I am 
interested in hearing from anybody who has personal knowledge of such cases 
as well as ideas for dealing with this. Air travel will be a frequent occurence for 
this dyad.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
