KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) It all started about a week ago when a mother was breastfeeding her child inside the Chick-fil-A restaurant on Parkside Drive and customers started complaining about her not covering up. That's when Jennifer Day took to social media to let others know what happened. Wednesday evening, dozens of mothers and fathers showed up at the restaurant to demonstrate a peaceful breastfeeding nurse-in.

Anna Hurley was one of the big pushers on Facebook to get the group together.


Richard Spiller and his wife echoed that opinion while they sat with their children eating dinner.

"If your child needs to eat and you're breastfeeding, then I think it's fine," Spiller said.

1. I'm sick to death of lactivists.

It's perfectly fine to nurse in public. Just show some damned class when you do it. If a bunch of people think you're being an exhibitionist, maybe you should think about that. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good manners no matter how you do it.

The worst I've ever seen was a woman sitting in the front row of a show I was doing on an outdoor stage. Where just about everyone could see her she dropped her shirt to the waist (she wasn't wearing any undergarments) and did The Breastfeeding Show for the next 10 minutes. We had people taking their kids out of the theater.

2. Since she was in the front row

and you could see her clearly, how on earth did others in the theater see?

This sounds fishy at best.

5. I've breast fed at restaurants before

Really it's better to do so than have your hungry baby scream for the rest of the meal. I do lift my shirt as little as possible, but I don't use any special cover up or anything.
It's too bad that some people can't be understanding of this.
