I was doing some reading online and it seems that many moms in the area and nationwide are organizing their own nurse-ins. I had to see what all of the commotion is about so I check out the reasoning. It seems that someone from the Limitied Corp. made a remark (could have been a college part-time employee) that “breastfeeding is unsanitary and that public breastfeeding is like changing on the salesfloor,” from what this particular atricle said. So now many mothers are going to the front lines…the mall that is to show their anger at the system.

There are two things that come to my mind, and as a blooming mother, I don’t think that they are the expected thoughts. Number one, it makes me laugh that the group most upset by these happenings probably can’t find a decent nursing bra in ANY of the stores in the mall, especially Victoria Secret! So why do we even care? Second, after having many mall jobs over my 9 year career “out there,” including 3 years with the Limited corp., I highly doubt anyone present will care. Granted, the mothers are trying to get “exposure” with the media, etc. However, I don’t think that the wanted response will work.

I am probably angering many, but those were my orginal thoughts, and since they are varying, I thought they were interesting!
