JCPenney - New Braunfels Sydney Stewart: I was in JCPenney today around 4-5pm, I was sitting in the waiting area in a more comfortable chair before the dressing room nursing my 7 month old, when a woman maybe in her late 50s, or early 60s who worked there approached me and asked if I wanted to go nurse my baby in a dressing room that has a bench. I told her I am much more comfortable in this chair, no thanks. Kindly. She then went into the dressing room, came back out and said I made a room for you to go into and to nurse. I said I am good. She then said “they” as in the other JCPenney workers would rather me nurse in the dressing room because kids could walk by. I told her OK and stayed put. She then took a clothing rack and pushed it right beside me blocking me from the entrance of the waiting room. It was very uncalled for. I stayed calm and polite. JC penny- woman are legally allowed to breastfeed in public. I did not just have my boob out. I had my baby over me, and was behind a wall in the waiting room before the dressing room. No one else was around but my 10 year old daughter who witnessed this. I’m very disappointed in this woman. Leave breastfeeding woman ALONE.
