Protest planned after Moorhead mom breast-feeding at pool told to cover up

MOORHEAD – Women are allowed to breast-feed openly in any public place in Minnesota, according to state law.

But at one of this city’s public pools on Thursday, a staff member told Kayla Heller that she better cover up next time after she nursed her 11-month-old daughter, Lila.

Heller’s story, shared on social media by her friend, outraged many. Now a group of breast-feeding advocates are holding a nurse-in—a group of women breast-feeding in protest—at the Moorhead pool Friday at 1 p.m.
