Stephanie Buchanan and Mary Davis say they were at the public pool on Wednesday, breastfeeding their babies, when another guest asked them to cover up.

Then a staff member asked if they could be more discreet or breastfeed in the locker area.

The women refused, but eventually left when a police officer was called.

"People have no problem seeing puppies feed from their mama and it's so cute, but then the minute a mom starts to breastfeed, some people say it makes them uncomfortable, they don't like it," mother Mary Davis said.



The women plan to file discrimination charges.

Minnesota statute allows a mother to breastfeed in any location, public or private.
