Despite being shocked by the request, Lane did not back down or leave, instead she raised her voice and said: “No, but I have a muslin if you would like to cover your face. You must not know Georgia’s breastfeeding laws.”

According to a post that Lane shared on Facebook after the incident: “He asked me to leave since he was helping my friend and not me. So I then called the Military Police so they could inform him [of the laws]. The officers arrived and explained that he couldn’t force a breastfeeding mom out of his store and gave their personal support to Avery as she continued to nurse.
