Woman Scolded for Breastfeeding

A woman who works part time at a coffee shop was recently scolded by her supervisor for nursing her son during her two 15 minute breaks. What strikes me about this story is this: this woman has an ideal situation for any breastfeeding mom who works outside the home: her husband is available to bring her son to her when she goes on break so that she can nurse him. It's a shame that her supervisor's don't realize the benefits of this situation and felt the need to scold her. I also think the point she made about smoker's being able to smoke on their breaks was valid: it doesn't make much sense that smokers are allowed to participate in a bad, unhealthy habit during their breaks but she is not allowed to nurse her son, which is a healthy and beneficial thing. I'm furious that the incident occurred in the first place, but it's great that the mom received the apology. Hopefully she will continue to take advantage of the great setup she has that allows her to work and breastfeed her son in person, instead of having to pump.
