At the surface, this may seem like it's been blown out of proportion, but this happens everyday and it shouldn't.
I don't think she was driving around town waiting for someone to confront her necessarily. I think she's been waiting for this day for years though and has had the speech prepared in her mind. "It is state law" and going on on her whole shpeal. The law says a woman can breastfeed wherever but it doesn't specify if they need to be covered or not. Maybe this place reserves the right to ask that she put a blanket over the baby. Don't attack me- I personally don't see anything wrong with it I'm just trying to say I think Lucy has been waiting for someone to ask her to stop bf in public since she started bf in public.NaturalMomma76 wrote:Could not agree more!sirenstale wrote:I'm not the biggest fan of Lucy.

I'm not from Texas, but I don't think anyone has the "right" to ask if she could put a cover on. Maybe she could suggest, but she can't force her to. As for having the speech ready... As a breastfeeding mother, I always think about what I'd say if someone approached me. I always hear about women being asked to stop or go somewhere else, so I always feel like I have to be able to defend myself.daisyisabella1 wrote:I don't think she was driving around town waiting for someone to confront her necessarily.

You have to know what you're going to say when someone tries to kick you out of an establishment in which you pay an expensive membership fee. From all the info i gather, this is what happened:
Lucy had a class to attend so nursed rainbow while walking in. Nasty inappropriate chick approaches Lucy before she enters the door. Lucy refused to quit nursing and went on inside. Nasty chick implies she isn't done speaking about the nursing, so Lucy and Joel were on guard. They probably discussed filming it if they were approached again (which was a good idea bc she was absolutely being discriminated against). Nasty chick starts walks up, Joel spots her, pulls out iPhone and records the ridiculous scene. Lucy did nothing wrong. I find it interesting women here who claim to nurse flaming Lucy for not 'being more discreet'. First of all, if the scene hadn't occurred, nobody would have known she was nursing bc she wasn't even being inappropriate...if there even is such a thing as being inappropriate while nursing a hungry newborn. Between my kids I nursed for a total of 10 years! Nursing everywhere and on demand is the best for baby! And some snide ass woman trying to tell her she's being indecent? Seriously? Who backs that type of ignorant behavior up??
I could not agree more with you! Society has things backwards and I will never understand what is so wrong with the issue of breastfeeding. With my first child I felt so uncomfortable and always felt like hundreds of eyes were on me. I finally outgrew that and was more comfortable. With my second child I even had the looks, was never confronted though. 
Now, why do you think it was the employee that made the scene? It wasn't like it was in a middle of a bunch of people or anything. You don't even know if this was the first encounter about it. The class was only 30 minutes long. Couldn't she have fed her before going in? Joel was there he could have been with the other kids while she excused herself to nurse. She even had two other options. She could have worn a cover or gone into the area for nursing which Lucy said she didn't want to do. I nursed my daughter and I know it is possible to plan feedings according to your schedule especially for a 30 minute period.Guest554 wrote:XxmariaxX wrote:i understand that baby rainbow needs to eat and lucy has the right to breastfeed anywhere she wants, i just think that maybe she should have covered up with a blanket on top or something so it wouldnt attract so much attention especially in a family recreation centre with kids and teens running around everywhere.
What caused the attn was the scene the employee made, not Lucy bf.
She said Jace had a dance class of which she needed to attend. 1. Joel was there and he could have gone in for her to finish. 2. She could have worn a cover.NaturalMomma76 wrote:Ok...when we live in a country that is backwards about breastfeeding as the USA, you have to have that speech prepared!

I made a post about using a cover, because that is what I did and the only way I felt comfortable, I don't want to risk anyone seeing my breasts. I hope no one took that as "I think all nursing mothers should cover up" because that is NOT what I meant. I see nursing mothers all the time whit out a cover and it in no way bothers me. I would MUCH MUCH rather see a mother nursing than girls just running around with their tatas hanging out or bra ads that are plastered every where with breasts being sexualized.NaturalMomma76 wrote:I find it interesting women here who claim to nurse flaming Lucy for not 'being more discreet'.
Considering this is a girl who posts 19 or so separate one question videos they are DESPERATE for money. No suit there, but she sure can get some publicity with a recording between her minions and all the people she gets heated at that "open breast feeding convention."Guest554 wrote:I dont think she was looking for confrontation, how many other women have probably been harassed to leave/cover up before her? Like the other woman that was confronted as well before Lucy. We just happen to see this one situation go down because her husband recorded it. And I feel like he said this is gonna be fun and laughed because they know shes in the wrong for even going there. Just my 2 cents though.
Lucy scared to breast feed now in public. No way. This is the girl who looks for confrontation.Heartbreakcoverupxo wrote:As much as I dislike Lucy, especially after this whole pregnancy and the birth. I feel really bad for her I would of cried or felt bad if that employee did that to me. I plan on breastfeeding and all of this just makes me scared to breastfeed in public. Women shouldn't feel ashamed or weird for feeding their baby they also shouldn't be attacked either. Yes sex is natural same with pooping and peeing but sex is a private intimate thing between two people, and for the pooping and peeing that has to be disposed of in a bathroom. Feeding your baby shouldn't have to wait because a person can't look away or is too immature to handle it.
Honestly, I saw this lady breastfeeding at McDonald's once and felt so weird and was like how could she do that? I was a young immature child back then. Now that I'm almost a mother myself and have grown up I wish I could go back and give her a high five. I also 100% agree that Lucy shouldn't have to go sit in a restroom to feed her child when she has other kids and went to that place to spend time with her family.
Why should she have to do either of those things?LovePotion009 wrote: She said Jace had a dance class of which she needed to attend. 1. Joel was there and he could have gone in for her to finish. 2. She could have worn a cover.
