Advice for Moms
So I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to do school shopping with my 7 year old son and I brought my 1 month old son with me.
I EBF btw.
So we gathered up his school supplies and then went back to the shoe/sneaker department so I could purchase sneakers for my son for school.
We were the only ones in the sneaker aisle, no one else was there.
I had that nursing privacy blanket, that's what it's called.
For those who don't know what it is: it's a fabric type blanket that has a string on it so you wrap the string around your neck and cover yourself up while the baby is nursing so no one can see.
Well an associate was in the aisle because she was helping a customer.
She saw me and told me that I had to leave because that was inappropriate with that I was doing.
I asked her if i could at least check out first and she said yes.
So we checked out and left. =(
I was so embarrassed.

If your profile is correct on your location (NY) then that was illegal. I would call the store back and demand to speak to the manager. Also call local news stations, and LLL reps. VERY illegal, and if you don't stand up to them they will do it again to another momma :(
