I certainly hope the company says it's "okay" since breastfeeding in public is protected by state law. 45 states (including Utah, see Utah Code Ann)have laws that specifically allow women to breastfeed in any public or private location. Hopefully a blanket or some sort of covering can be used while the baby nurses, however some babies won't tolerate that. So bottom line people; get over it, it's protected by law.

Odyseuss z, i'm guessing there is something wrong with u mentally & that u probably eat ur meals in the bathroom & u go to the water park to stare @half naked teenagers, which is socially acceptable to u, & if u do have children (which would b extremely unfortunate) they probably hate u cuz u are unstable. Breastfeeding has been around since the dawn of times & she was totally covered...get on board u idiot!

Odysseus Z, thank goodness you did not procreate. The last thing this planet needs is more people like you.

Seven Peaks is disgusting any way! I was in the men's room and there was a dad with a four-year-old boy. The boy had pooped his suit. The dad was washing the suit inn the sink and the boy was standing there naked. The boy started running his tongue all along the edge of the sink. I told him to stop since it was unsafe. The dad turned to me and said:"its a wonder they even live to grow up!" I replied: with a parent like you, it certainly is!"

Why is it that every mother thinks that because they created life, I have to stand around and watch the gory details. Not all of us want to see that. We don't want to see your gross bodily functions regardless of if it is necessary for the sustainment of life. You're not allowed to whip any other body parts out in public for the same reason. Go to the bathroom. The world is not required to bear witness to your plight. This is just an extension of the same phenomena regarding children which is rampant across the Salt Lake Valley. People think that they can go out in public and ruin everybody else's good time, just because they have kids and have given up trying to control them. Take them away. They aren't our responsibility. It is rude to force them and their socially unacceptable behavior on us. Back to the issue. If its okay for babies to breast-feed in public, than it should be okay for the rest of us. Oh, its not huh. Gross or something? Now you see my vantage point.

I consider myself a Lactivist that also happens to work with Seven Peaks often as a vendor. I think it is important for women to be able to breastfeed in public and I have breastfeed during meetings with the senior management of Seven Peaks and I was never made to feel anything but comfortable doing so. Not only did they welcome me bringing my new baby on engagements but they’ve always made me feel comfortable while nursing my babies (that’s right, I have had two children while working with them). I think perhaps some people are having a knee-jerk reaction here because of the bad judgment of one of their younger employees when my personal experience as a breastfeeding mother with the Seven Peaks owners and mgmt. has been truly great. I am not sure that the media is getting both sides to this story and I’d hate to see a great Utah business suffer due to hype. I am happy and proud to speak publicly about the support I’ve received from Seven Peaks as a lactating mother. Thanks!
