Vancouver moms have "nurse-in" in H&M
Dozens of breast-feeding women packed themselves into a Vancouver H&M
last week to protest the store, where employees recently told a mom
that breastfeeding was against H&M policy because it might offend
other customers.
Just after noon the trendy clothing store in a downtown mall was
filled with a sea of nursing moms, strollers, toddlers, dads and
others who turned out to make a political point.
"It is normal. It is not obscene. It is every baby's need to have
food and be nourished and nurtured," said Veronika Polanska as she
rallied the moms to publicly feed their babies.
..."I don't want to live a world or city where that's acceptable
to shun women for breastfeeding," said nursing mum Sonia
Tilley-Strobel.
H&M cor****ate spokesperson Laura Shankland came to the protest to
smooth things over: "We apologize. And it seems to be a
miscommunication and a misunderstanding. Our policy is to allow
breastfeeding nursing mothers to breastfeed or express milk freely in
our stores."
