So for the first time in nearly two years of nursing, I was asked to move and cover myself by a lifeguard at my local ymca while nursing my son sitting on the side of the pool. I kindly said the law says you can't ask me to move or cover. She looked a little embarrassed and said oh we can't? She then walked away.
On the way out, I asked for a manager and was told the executive director was manning the grill. I found him, introduced myself, and nicely asked of he could retrain his lifeguards on breastfeeding laws since I was asked to move and cover.
He apologized, said his wife was almost at a year of nursing and that he told the lifeguard that apparently found him to tell him what I'd said that she was absolutely not allowed to ask me to move or cover. He was very nice and I'm glad it ended the way it did. Hopefully no other mom is asked to cover at that location because not every breastfeeding mom knows the laws that protect her and her baby.

@alicia3_21, You have the right in almost every state to breastfeed with or without a cover. This is my state law.
383.015 Breastfeeding.—The breastfeeding of a baby is an important and basic act of nurture which must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and family values, and in furtherance of this goal:
(1) A mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother’s breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.
The high in my Florida city today was 96°. He's also almost two. There is no way he was going to let me cover him. You should nurse in whatever way makes you comfortable.
so I just nurse with nothing over baby. just him on the boob? just curious bc I hate having a blanket over him he gets hot
I had the law pulled up on my phone ready to fight if I had to. But he was so nice, he even applauded when I told him my son was almost 2 after he said his wife's goal was a year...lol. I think the fact his wife nursed helped a ton.
thank you 🙌🙌🙌for standing up for all breastfeeding moms!!!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My son just handed me this…. As an adult I made the decision not to get it and told him why I choose not to. Asked him if he knew anything about COVID or the vaccine and he said no all he knows it’s that it’s out there. At the end I asked him if he wants the vaccine I will sign the form if not we ignore it. He said no thank you 😊.
My boyfriend is against breastfeeding in public even if I have cover. I told him I wanted to do skin to skin after the babys born and he said no because he didn't want me naked in front of anyone. I said he'd be under my gown. and he said no because my boob can pop out. he also said I'm not allowed to feed my baby if there's a nurse in the room. and I told him they're gonna see my freaking vagina!! who cares about my boobs. it's also not their first time. I'm so annoyed. because if my baby is hu...
So my son seemed super excited when we came and got him. On the way home he was saying how there was this other teacher or whatever. So I sit down and start asking small questions like was she nice? Did you like it? Meet any friends? Things like that. He then tells me like it's no big deal ( bc my son likes everyone) that the teacher said he was stupid, and then wouldn't give him any cookies cuz he was bad and the kids said he was being a whiny baby.... Now he said this stuff like it was no big ...
okay thank you!
