Michelle Hickman Texas
A Texas mom is upset after she says she was harassed and embarrassed at a Target store while nursing her baby. Now, a bigger protest is schedule for Wednesday.Noah Hickman was hungry, but his mom says that might have well been a crime.
"It was a breast feeding issue. They had a problem with me nursing in public," said Michelle Hickman. Michelle and Noah were in the Target in Webster and she sat on the floor in the women's clothing section to nurse.
"I had this big blanket over me," said Michelle.
She says she was offered a dressing room, and when she said no, the harassment and humiliation started.
"They all came and started walking by and shaking their head, rolling their eyes like I'm doing something so horrible like feeding my baby here," she said.
She asked about the breastfeeding policy and Target officials say guests who choose to breastfeed in public areas of the store are welcome to do so without being made to feel uncomfortable.
Michelle says that's not how she was treated, and has shared her story with other moms.
"There's people walking around showing far more cleavage than I would be showing," she said.
