For a company that openly proclaims to support nursing mothers, I’ve never felt more shamed for attending to my baby’s needs. #breastfeeding #parents #mothers #ebf

Can you tell me why, when I emailed yesterday to address this issue, I got this boilerplate brush off in response and had to make a Twitter just in hopes of receiving an actual answer to these questions?

Can you tell me why it was necessary for my baby—as I knew she would when I covered her—to wake up and cry for the final 45 minutes of the flight because AA apparently sees breastfeeding as either sexualized for men or inappropriate for children?

Can you tell me why the alleged discomfort of a fellow passenger (as this was the explanation given to me) supersedes the biological needs and comfort of my infant?

Can you tell me why, when I inquired if covering up while breastfeeding on flights was AA policy, I was told again that “common courtesy” dictated that I cover up?

Can you tell me why, when I explained that my peacefully sleeping baby would wake up if I covered her and she would refuse to eat, I was once again told I needed to cover up?

Hey, @AmericanAir, nursing mother here. Can you tell me why, while I breastfed my infant yesterday on flight AA2962 from Des Moines to Charlotte, I was told by 3 flight attendants that it was “common courtesy to cover up when men and children are around”?
