“I don’t think everybody wants to breast-

Seattle mom Alice Enevoldsen said it’s
silly that Seattle needs such a law, but she
thinks it’s important that it passes. It’ll be
easier for the city to enforce, she said.
“Babies don’t have a lot of control over
when they’re hungry. We need to feed them
Echo-Hawk with the Seattle Women’s
Commission. “It can embarrass a woman so
much that she may choose to stop breast-
feeding.”
Eliminating barriers to breastfeeding will
help more women continue to nurse, she
added.
Since the Washington state law protecting
public breastfeeding went into effect in
2009, three mothers
have filed complaints
with the state Human
Rights Commission.
One mother was
asked to move to
another
location
while she was breast-
feeding her baby in
the lobby of her
physical therapist in
Sultan. She was uncomfortable with the sit-
uation so she left the office without keeping
her appointment. That business agreed to
buy a $5,000 U.S. Savings Bond in the
child’s name, said Laura Lindstrand, policy
analyst state commission.
Two other cases are pending. One com-
plaint was filed by a mother who was told
she couldn’t breastfeed her baby at a day-
care center in Long Beach. Another was
filed by a mother who was breastfeeding
‘It can embarrass a woman so
much that she may choose to stop
breastfeeding’
when they’re hungry,” said the mom of a 1-
year-old. Sometimes that means you’re out
in a public place, she said, adding: “Just get
out of my business. I’m going to feed my
baby.”
The Seattle Women’s Commission lob-
bied for the bill after hearing from dozens of
community and women’s groups that moth-
ers were being told to cover up or leave.
“For those who have been discriminated
against, it’s embarrassing,” said Abigail
