You would expect a local school's lunch program to be a fairly family-friendly event. Yet mum Andrea Scannell was told that her decision to breastfeed her daughter at Mount Logan Middle School, in Utah, had raised "concerns" among other parents.
The mother-of-two was handed a letter in a sealed envelope after she attended the school's free lunch last Wednesday.
"One of the workers approached me with a sealed envelope and said, 'I highly encourage you to read this'. I said, 'Is this because of the breastfeeding?' and she said, 'Just read it, it's very tastefully written'," she told news outlet Fox13.
