OGDEN - A Wyoming woman says she was ordered to leave a store in Newgate Mall because she was breast-feeding her baby.
Dana Martin of Evanston, a labor and delivery nurse who routinely stresses the importance of breast-feeding to new mothers, said the incident happened last month at The Quilted Bear.
She said she was told someone had complained to the cashier, even though she and the baby were covered by a blanket, she said.
''My family was so embarrassed that we just let security take us out,'' Martin said. ''I promote and teach breast-feeding every day.''
Brent Sirstines, manager of The Quilted Bear, said, ''Some women customers complained that a lady was in a booth with her breast exposed nursing a baby.''
