Reason: other patrons were bothered by the act. The following day, La Leche Liga filed an official protest. Moms rallied their support by having group breastfeeding sessions in cafes and restaurants over the city. The result: a lot of restaurants set up a separate breastfeeding area where moms can breasfeed in relative privacy without feeling self-conscious and where other patrons don't have to be disturbed.
