A Camden County mother said that several months ago, her church forced her out because she was breastfeeding her baby.

Nirvana Jenette said church leaders asked her to breastfeed her daughter, Olivia, in her car, but she said she shouldn't have to. She said the church implied they would have her arrested for lewd behavior.

Jenette wants to make it clear to the community that she has a right to feed her child in public.

She said breastfeeding is natural, but she said her church disagrees, comparing her to a stripper.

"It was just about every sad negative emotion I could think of just balled up in one, and just felt like it all lumped into my chest," Jenette said. "It made me almost literally sick."

Not wanting to point the finger at the people she claims outcast her by demanding she hide the feedings, the mother of four isn't naming names.

Instead, she's bringing light to what she believes is a part of motherhood that shouldn't be suppressed.

"You know, we're feeding a baby," Jenette said. "Babies have to eat, and comparing breastfeeding to a perversion is kind of sick, in my opinion."

To raise awareness about breastfeeding, Jenette is planning to stage a nurse-in at the Camden County courthouse and across the state of Georgia, and some folks in the area said they support her cause.

"I think she has a right as long as she's covered and not any other way, you know, bothering anybody," resident Ella Mae Tippins.

Even business owners are surprised to hear Jenette's story, saying they wouldn't turn a breastfeeding mother away because they feel it's not sexual.

"Absolutely not, no. Let them be, you know," business owner Stanley Mieloch said. "It's a natural thing, it's a beautiful thing."

Aside from the community, Jenette said she's received encouragement from hundreds of mothers and is optimistic they'll sway opinions to take away the stigma of breastfeeding.

The Georgia state nurse-in she helped organized is scheduled for March 5.

Jenette is hopeful her message is bigger than just one day. She plans to educate people about what she believes are the benefits of breastfeeding all year round.
