Further to my previous post, I found more details about the mom
breastfeeding at the pool.  Here's part of the story:

Breast-feeding mom claims she was kicked out of pool
By HOLLY RAMER

CONCORD (AP) - A Manchester woman who claims she was kicked out of a public
pool for breast-feeding her infant daughter has filed a complaint with the
state Human Rights Commission.

Lauralee David, 36, says she had brought her three children to the Hunt
Memorial Pool on July 3 to cool off on a scorching-hot day. She was standing
waist-deep in the water discretely nursing 4-month-old Lily when a lifeguard
blew his whistle and ordered her out, she said.

When David refused to take the baby into the bathroom, a supervisor
approached and told her, "This is a family pool. Small children shouldn't be
exposed to that," David said Thursday.

Pool workers told her she was making others uncomfortable and that they
feared she would taint the pool with "bodily fluids." But numerous children
in diapers were allowed to in the pool without protective swim pants, she
said.

I found out from this that I am already in touch with the organizer of
yesterday's nurse-in, Juniper Decker, only I didn't know the mom's name or
where she lived before now.  I see that they have the problem well in hand.
