A mom and Army veteran refused to acquiesce to public breastfeeding shaming.

Avery Reukauf was nursing her 2-month-old son Wilder at the H&R Block on Fort Gordon Military Base when the manager asked her to cover up. The mom posted about the experience and the way she responded on Facebook .

Avery wrote that the manager asked her, Can you cover up with a towel or something?

I was completely shocked, so I raised my voice slightly and said, No but I have a muslin if you would like to cover your face. You must not know Georgias breastfeeding laws, she explained.

Avery told HuffPost she accompanied her friend, Shondra Mottos, to the H&R Block that day. In her Facebook post, she noted the manager asked her to leave following their exchange.

So I then called the Military Police so they could come and inform him of them, she wrote, referring to the laws about breastfeeding in public. Im glad they came and informed him that he could not tell me to leave. Also one of the MPs told me that there is nothing wrong with a mother breastfeeding her child.
