Moms Stage 'Nurse-In' At Chick-Fil-A
Restaurant

ORLANDO, Fla. -- More than 30 breastfeeding women descended on a local
Chick-Fil-A restaurant Friday afternoon.

They were trying to make a point the point that it's OK to breastfeed in
public.

The "Nurse-In," as it is being dubbed, was organized by a mother who
felt she was discriminated against at the restaurant.

She was breastfeeding her child when a restaurant employee told her to
cover up.

The employee even allegedly handed her a towel to do it.

"Her right to do that was violated and I'm here to show my support, and
we're breastfeeding. We'd like to see more people breastfeeding in
public. It should be normal," mother Alejandra Sarmiento said.

She tried to talk to the manager, the general manager and even the
chain's corporate office with no real satisfaction, so she has organized
a group of mothers to go to the chain and breastfeed together Friday.

The woman said she sent a letter to Chik-Fil-A's corporate office, but
received no response.

The law in Florida allows women to breastfeed wherever they need to.

The law says: "A mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public
or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective
of whether or not the nipple of the mother's breast is covered during or
incidental to the breastfeeding."

The restaurant said it is working to better educate the staff about
public breastfeeding. The parent company is also considering door
stickers to inform guests it is a "mom-friendly" place.

I favor any activities that set racks free and out in the open air.


Good for her! She should also organize a Breast Feed In there every
Sunday too.

That will teach 'em.
