Nurse-In Non-Existent At Renton Target

Despite lots of national buss, no nurse-in supporters appeared at the Renton Target Wednesday morning for the event, aimed at supporting mothers who nurse in public.

Scheduled across the country for 10 a.m. Dec. 28, the nurse-in was organized by a woman who claims that Texas Target store employees asked her to relocate to a dressing room because she was breast feeding her baby in a in the store.

According to Time.com, Wednesday, Dec. 28, is the day for this year’s ‘Nurse-in Target’ event. “…Wednesday’s planned demonstrations appear to be the most comprehensive to date, with more than 100 nurse-ins scheduled at 10 a.m. local time in at least 35 states. Michelle Hickman, the Houston-area mom at the epicenter of the protest, will be re-visiting the Webster, Texas, store where she says she was hassled last month for breast-feeding her 5-month-old son, Noah, on the floor near the blue jeans display in the women’s department,” wrote Bonnie Rochman.

But things were very quiet at the Target store in Renton, not only were there no mothers nursing publicly, there were few customers of any sort and only two check-out lines were open. One employee said it was great, the first slow day in awhile.
