Do You Plan to Nurse Your Baby in Target Today?
To protest some retailers, including Target, for asking women to stop breastfeeding their babies in the stores, women across the nation are staging a Nurse-in today at Target stores across the nation. Will Issaquah's Target be one of them?
A nurse-in is scheduled across the country today organized by a woman who was asked to leave a Target store in Texas during the holiday season a few years ago because she was discretely breast feeding her baby.
According to Time.com, Wednesday Dec. 28 is the day for this year’s Nurse-in Target event. “…Wednesday’s planned demonstrations appear to be the most comprehensive to date, with more than 100 nurse-ins scheduled at 10 a.m. local time in at least 35 states. Michelle Hickman, the Houston-area mom at the epicenter of the protest, will be re-visiting the Webster, Texas, store where she says she was hassled last month for breast-feeding her 5-month-old son, Noah, on the floor near the blue jeans display in the women’s department,” wrote Bonnie Rochman.
