Moms Are Free To Breastfeed 'Wherever And Whenever' At Target
Target, the happiest place on earth (sorry Disney), unsurprisingly has the most wonderful, inclusive breastfeeding policy-like ever. In fact, a Texas-based location put up a sign notifying customers that, hey, if you wanna feed your child out in the open, go fo it!
A group on Facebook, Breastfeeding Mama Talk, posted the heartwarming note last week to an immediate and overwhelming response. "At Target, you are free to nurse wherever and whenever you like while you shop because we think #momsrock," the company wrote in the letter. They also notified customers that if it makes you more comfortable, there are designated nursing rooms, as well.
And, um, those nursing rooms? They've reportedly got free swag. Though I'm not entirely sure what that entails, who doesn't love a freebie? Oh, and not getting harassed in public! That's cool, too!
Target's not just all talk either. Women have taken to the comment section with their own positive breastfeeding experiences there. "I had a lady once harass me in the food court at Target," one mom wrote. "She went to get a manager. And the manager ended up asking her to leave and gave me a free drink. That simple gesture made my year."
Others weighed in on the incredible customer service, as well. According to one, several staffers stopped by the outdoor furniture section where she was feeding to make sure she was comfortable. Another said: "A manager gave me a free water & pretzel when I was nursing a few years ago because she remembered how hungry [breastfeeding] made her."
Pretty sure the number one Target hiring requirement is that you are a wonderful angel of a human.
