A local mother flying home after a visit with family last week was allegedly told to stop nursing her baby out of consideration for the other passengers on the plane. The flight attendant defended her request by claiming it was “company policy.”
On Dec. 4 Eureka resident K.K. Tetrault, 31, began nursing her 7-month-old son Ronan during takeoff from the Fresno Yosemite International Airport on a United Express flight operated by SkyWest Inc., headed to San Francisco, a flight which would later connect her to one bound for the Arcata-Eureka Airport.
“I was already a little uncomfortable, but what else was I to do?” Tetrault said. “My baby was tired, hungry and ready to go to sleep.”
According to Tetrault, the flight attendant approached her after the plane stabilized and it was safe to do so.
“‘I am going to have to ask you as a courtesy to others and to those around you to please stop nursing and wait until we land and get to the terminal,’” Tetrault said the flight attendant whispered in her ear.
