PORTLAND, Ore. - An incident at a Portland Fred Meyer store has the company reassessing its policy on women who breastfeed their babies on store grounds.
Chris Musser, the mother of a 3-month-old infant, says she was sitting on a bench breastfeeding her newborn near the checkout line at the Gateway Fred Meyer store when the store director approached her and asked her to cover up after receiving complaints from customers.
Musser says she complained to the company management about the incident and was contacted by a regional manager who backed the actions of the store director.
She said the incident caused her embarrassment and made her feel ashamed.
