Breastfeeding battle at Chick-fil-A

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - It was a trip to Chick-fil-A Chylain Krivensky will not forget. While breastfeeding her 6-month-old baby inside the restaurant a manager told her to cover up.

"The manager came up and introduced herself and asked told me she believed in what I was doing but asked me if I could cover up cause there were children around," she said.

Krivensky says it caught her off guard; so, she told the manager no.

"I didn’t know what else to say," she explained. "There's a law we have the right to breastfeed anywhere you’re not doing anything wrong or sexual you’re feeding your child were made to do that."

Krivensky says she felt humiliated.

"They handed me a kitchen towel and my thought was you myself no one would put a towel over their head to eat it’s the same thing with a blanket I don’t put a blanket over her head to eat, covering somebody up to eat is ludicrous," said Krivensky.

She says even asked the people sitting around her table if they felt uncomfortable with the feeding.

"Is there a problem with you guys and they said oh my gosh no you’re feeding her, we had no idea I talked to another manager she said she was there she didn’t even know we were nursing that's how little was showing," Krivensky said.

So she left. She went home and told her online friends. They organized what they’re calling a nurse-in in quiet protest.

"Just a bunch of moms nursing their children to do a protest to point out there is a law that protects us and were doing nothing but feeding our children," Krivensky said.

A Chick-fil-A manager told FOX 35's Shay Harris that even the manager in question learned a lesson in political correctness in this case. She said they didn't know about the law but they do plan to honor it now. They've agreed to post the international breastfeeding symbol welcoming nursing mothers.

The nurse-in will be held Friday August 14th at noon at the Chick-fil-A at Forsythe and University.
