Wow would suck! I have nursed my son in Target (in MN) a few times. I remember the first time..he was about 2 months old, I was looking for a suitcase for an upcoming trip, and he was crying. I was stressed out because I had a cart full of crap, so I just nursed him in the suitcase aisle. not soon after I started nursing a female employee walked up to me and I was thinking “oh crap-she’s gonna tell me to go someplace else” but she was super nice and said “it looks like you have your hands full–can I help you with anything”:) Fortunately I had a good experience nursing in Target and I’m sorry that Mary didn’t. I really wish people were more informed and didn’t say stupid stuff like “breastfeeding in public is illegal”.

I’m appalled by the actions of the security guard and the Target staff in general. I thought we mothers had made our case after the Victoria’s Secret debacle a few years ago.
I couldn’t attend a nurse-in if there was one (my “kids” are teens and twenties), but I nursed mine and support the rights of moms to meet their babies’ feeding needs whenever and wherever they need to do so.

Hi Amy,
So…just wanted to address a couple other comments in this ordeal. It doesn’t seem like you’re banning target, you said you wouldn’t be that drastic. So really the whole Tiger Woods thing was a little out of line. As a breastfeeding mother myself, I appreciate what you and Mary stand for. And yes, Target should make a better effort for apologizing. We don’t need them on World News Tonight, but it needs to be put out as much that there were many lies involved. Why is it ok for Target to spread nationwide awful lies and embarrassments, but its not ok for them to go nationwide to apologize for the same??? Ugh!! You go Amy and Mary!!!!
I sooooo support you both!!!
