Women Protest Houston Mall Over Breast Feeding Incident

Reuters reported this week that more than about 50 mothers gathered at a Houston shopping mall this week to protest an incident in which a woman breastfeeding her infant son was asked to either cover herself or move to a more private place, such as a restroom.

The women first breastfed their children in the middle of the mall before continuing their protest outside, complete with chants of “Got milk.”

Mall officials told Reuters that the incident was a mistake, and that the mall has no policy against public breast-feeding
