A breastfeeding mother has been asked to stop and cover-up. A YMCA official asked a mother to stop feeding her child recently. It's not the first time that's happened, so mothers decided to fight back. Last Wednesday they held a "nurse in," a demonstration at the YMCA in Centennial Hills. State law gives mothers the right to feed their children in public and does not even require any covering. So why do these incidents keep happening? Why are we so hung up on breastfeeding?
