>>NORTH CAROLINA: Gen. Stat. sec. 14-190.9, 1993
In the indecent exposure statutes, it states that notwithstanding any other
provision of law, a woman may breast feed in any public or private location
where she is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple
of the mother's breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breast
feeding. >>
