In an illuminating post today on The Root DC, a mother provides a first-person account of being forced to stop nursing her hungry baby at D.C.’s Department of Motor Vehicles headquarters.

Two guards and their supervisor told Simone Manigo-Truell dos Santos to button up and move along because the law prohibited her from nursing in a public building. The guards were wrong.

There are city and federal regulations that allow for breast-feeding in public buildings wherever mothers and children are allowed.
