I've been there/done that 23-29 years ago, and I think it was easier then, which makes no sense. I think that she should definitely sue, to set a precedent (long overdue!). Any Mom should be able to breastfeed anywhere, any time, regardless of the seatmate.

No one said she couldn't feed.. cover up! If one person even the flight crew found it "offensive" then she should have, and any decent person would.. say ok, cover up and apologized!
Also any person who breast feeds knows, it is on demand.. so why not express the milk, bottle it before getting on board.. and save a lot of hassle!

I think she likes the attention.. because anyone who has breast fed, knows what to do.. if they have any common sense at all.

Although hopefully this doesn't get to Joe Redner in Tampa.. he will be using it in his adult night clubs if it does! lol
Even poll dancers breast feed!

AS far as sueing, she hasn't got a prayer.. she wasn't harassed, she was asked.. to cover up!
If a baby is hungry it will eat.. if not it will fuss. Same as the rest of us!

If you can't think of others.. what makes you think that others care if you have to cover up.. or sit there 1/2 exposed to "enjoy your natural moment w/ the baby!

cover up or bottle feed.. breast milk fits in a bottle!
