Breast-feeding woman alleges run-in with airline employee
Everyone knows that changes in cabin pressure during takeoff and landing can cause pain inside your ear; adults are often advised to chew gum and parents are advised to give young children something to eat or drink to help alleviate the pressure. For babies, the recommendation is that they either nurse or suck on a bottle or pacifier. But while some poor woman was trying to fly home with her 7 month old baby, she was repeatedly asked by a flight attendant to stop nursing and wait until the plane landed where she could feed in the terminal. When the woman tried to tell the attendant that it was her legal right to breastfeed her child on the plane, the attendant responded that it was “company policy”. Apparently they would rather disturb the other passengers with a screaming baby than risk having a nursing baby offend those seated nearby. You can read about it here.
