It is empowering to know what your legal rights are, no matter where your opinion stands. This will allow you to hold your grounds strong when facing conflict – unfortunately, breastfeeding provokes unnecessary commotion at times.
Issues come up even in the large franchise stores, including stores that advertise with much more visible breasts than most breastfeeding mamas who are out and about. No matter how confident you are in the choice that you are making, insensitive comments can bring you down and sometimes crush you. So know your rights ladies, and stand tall. For example, notice that in British Columbia, it says that it is only for the mother’s comfort if she wants a private space while she breastfeeds her baby. It’ll be nice if one day, we can all see who should be at the center of this ‘issue,’ – the mother, the baby, or the general public. Is it that hard to find a happy medium??
