snapshot of the interwebs...

Here is a tiny peek at the noise we're making about the rude employee at Women's and Children's Hospital.

***UPDATE***
This story has made it to BABYCENTER!!! And oh, my word, 267 comments there.
Jessamine's story also showed up in a chat here
Also, close to 1500 people have read about what happened to Jessamine and sweet Hazel here on my blog.  Thanks to everyone who left the lovely supportive comments here.  You're not just sharing kindness with Jessamine and Hazel, you're supporting breastfeeding mamas everywhere.
