Here’s a story from the intersection of law and life.
Connecticut law protects a woman’s right to breastfeed, making it an act of discrimination for:
a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement to restrict or limit the right of a mother to breast-feed her child; Link.
Massachusetts law affords mothers similar protections:
allows a mother to breastfeed her child in any public place or establishment or place which is open to and accepts or solicits the patronage of the general public and where the mother and her child may otherwise lawfully be present.
Recently, I contacted Fenway Park to inquire about their lactation policy. After checking their website for my wife, I came up with nothing. Here was their response:
ask any usher the directions to our first aid room which is on the lower concourse right behind first base. She will be afforded all the privacy she needs.
There you have it – a home run of an appropriate accommodation by the Red Sox.
