H&M and Boobs
Today Vancouver moms visited into H&M -a fashion clothing store – to breastfeed in support of Manuella Valle.
Manuella was breastfeeding her two-month-old child, Ramona, when a store employee asked her to use a fitting room.
“She told me to mind that there were children around”.
“I would love for them to explain to me like a two year old, what is so offensive about me feeding my child,” said one mom, who joined the protest.
H&M spokesperson Laura Shankland says the company is sorry.
Looks like another protest is ready to get going in London, Ont., where a woman says staff at a La Senza store chastised her for breastfeeding.
“I felt violated… you would eat your big mac in public, why can’t my baby eat his big mac in public,” the woman said.
Two lessons here:
1) Don’t piss off a new Mom when she’s got a boob out.
2) Boobs are plentiful in Vancouver when you need to protest.
