Comments About Traveling For Work With Nursing Baby

Location: TX

Last year I traveled with my exclusively breastfed baby, he was 4 months old at the time and I was technically supposed to be on part-time status with work. I asked to not travel for this work trip, but I was requested to go. So technically I worked overtime while I was still on my employer approved part time parental leave (we worked it out where I spread my parental leave for longer - instead of 3 straight months off I split the last two into 4 months of part time).

I told work I needed to bring my baby as he was being nursed.

Fast forward to now, our board made negative comments about employees “bringing children to our work trip” and that should not be allowed. They specifically said “some people” had issues with my baby being brought on this trip. While I was working I had my mother watch him. I did not cost any extra money by bringing him. I shared my plane seat with him. I did not get any extra charges sent to my room relating to him. I took a room with two full size beds (no extra charge) so my mom could stay in the hotel. And I paid for my mom’s meals (did not request reimbursement).

The only thing that I probably shouldn’t have done is walk him through a social event, very briefly as to not cause attention on myself with my baby. I’m aware this is not protected, as it shouldn’t be.

I don’t necessarily wish to pursue legal action, but I’m curious if these comments allow for any legal action. Thoughts?
