Attendant's remarks miff nursing mom (DenverPost.com)

While traveling recently with her 10-month-old daughter on a United Airlines flight, Joany Tarud was reminded that not everyone can stomach breast-feeding in public.

The Denver mother's subsequent complaints about a flight attendant prompted an apology from the airline.

Tarud was traveling with her daughter and mother from Birmingham, Ala., to Denver. Tarud said she and her infant were hunched against a window and covered with a baby blanket.

Just before the plane took off, Tarud said a flight attendant instructed her to use a blanket provided by the airline to cover herself and the baby more fully.
