Breastfeeding mom asked to leave store

OGDEN -- A woman recently received complaints for doing something she has encouraged many other women to do -- breastfeed.


Dana Martin, of Evanston, Wyo., is a labor and delivery nurse who routinely stresses the importance of breastfeeding to new mothers. But last month she was breastfeeding her baby in Newgate Mall when an employee from The Quilted Bear asked her to leave because the act was indecent.
