Tiffany Francis' shared the incident at Rigby's Water World on Facebook, claiming that she experienced discrimination against nursing mothers who breastfeed their babies in public. Tiffany described in her post that it was her usual practice to nurse her baby to sleep in the Lazy River when his nap time approached. She explained, "He likes motion to sleep, he sleeps well in the car or swing, so he will also sleep in the Lazy River." However, her day quickly turned sour when a lifeguard approached her and told her she was not allowed to breastfeed in the water. Initially, Tiffany thought it was a tasteless joke, but when another staff member was called in to reiterate the rule, she realized they were serious. Despite her request to see the posted rules, she found no mention of breastfeeding restrictions. Upon speaking with the manager, she was pointed to the "No food or drinks in the water" rule. The manager seemed to equate breastfeeding to food and drink, which left Tiffany feeling humiliated. She said: "I asked, 'So my boobs aren't allowed in the water?' Imagine all the bodily fluids being excreted into the water, but they're worried about breastmilk when the baby was latched, my breast was out of the water, and the milk was only going into [my] baby's mouth. "But really, it wasn't even about him eating in the water — it was about it making other guests uncomfortable." she wrote. Tiffany attempted to seek a refund but was denied so decided to leave the water park. The incident garnered attention when she shared her story on social media. One woman responded on Facebook, "I breastfed both of my children but would have NEVER done so at a recreational park." How){kind=link}
