If the resturant Manager is correct and he didnt throw the naplin at the baby then hopefully there are instore cctv footage to prove that.

Sadly he could be right and perhaps someone did complain which means the Manager could talk to the person breast feeding but they should do so in a manager that is calm and non offensive. They can simply say that someone had complained and therefore they have to follow it up but it certainly is not the policy of the resturant to ban or be concerned about breast feeding.
The Manager could then talk to the person that complained and tell them that they dont have a policy against breast feeding and if it offends them so much then perhaps they could move the, to another table so they cant witness the woman feeding her child.

Taking someone to court is always about the money. Its really not about educating people at all. If you were seriously driven to educate then you take the phone calls from the resturant and you ask them to post a public apology on their facebook. You start up or join breast feeding groups and post about it on your facebook. You write articles/letters to magazines and papers, etc There is a lot you can do. Taking the resturant to court is not really educating anyone.

I think shaming the business all over the internet is worth more than any benefit you could get suing them. If it was my restaurant I would happily offer a napkin to the person complaining to cover their face with though.

I think you can educate in other ways rather than suing. It is the US though.

I can understand some circumstances where perhaps a Mum could be politely asked to cover up a bit. I witnessed one Mum with her shirt opened from her neck back as far as it would go down to her navel exposed. Both breasts were fully naked. Even a few very open minded Mums were commenting amongst themselves.

Hmmm, not sure what to think with this one.

There are 2 sides to every story. I’d be interested to see what happens in the court case.

it will be interesting to see what happens with this case.

Sounds like there is a lot more to the story.

Tough call as there are always 2 sides to a story. Not sure that I would go as far as a suit though… hard truth is a baby needs to be fed when it’s hungry, I always felt it was best for myself and my baby to cover up or relocate away from people. Not because of embarrassment of feeding, just a personal preference.

When her words are true and the manager threw or even covered the face of her baby with a napkin, I think they’re in the wrong.
However I think it’s important to be sensible with breastfeeding in public and certainly not provocative. I myself never covered up, but always a belly hugger (so the belly was covered) and a wide enough buttoned shirt.

There’s always 2 sides to a story I’m happy for anyone to feed but do it Discreetly as some people do get uncomfortable I breast feed at the moment and have something over me

I m a bit torn here; I definitely think she has a right to feed in public but at the same time if some people are uncomfortable, covering up hurts nobody.

babies need to feed, I don’t care how anyone chooses to feed their babes but I would much prefer to see a feeding baby than hear a screaming baby that is starving. If you don’t like it you can look away

She’s well within her rights to be angry and I hope the court’s award her damages to teach this business a lesson. Regardless of wether he threw the napkin or not they had no right to ask her to cover up. Time for them to learn the hard way. I would’ve been livid and if a manager threw anything at my babies head they’d be lucky to be able to walk after I was done with them.

Enough shaming with breast feeding it’s normal it’s basically the nipples covered and boobs popped out like every other woman that flaunts there boobs out same thing nipples covered up difference is ones getting sucked on the other nipple is just covered by a padded push up bra!!!!
