A Texas mother named Brittany Warfield claimed a manager kicked her out of an area near a Hollister store in Houston, Texas, for breastfeeding her seven-month-old daughter, Eden.

"I was completely humiliated, completely humiliated," Warfield told KVU.com. "I had not done anything wrong."

Moms across the country reacted, staging a nurse-in during the weekend at Hollister stores nationwide. They turned to Facebook to spread the word. And Saturday afternoon moms brought their babies to Hollister stores and breastfed them.

What do you think of the nurse-in? Did you participate?
