A Texas mother says she was told by staff at World Springs, a hot springs and wellness center in Dallas, that she could not pump breastmilk while on the property during a visit with her husband. She shared her experience in a TikTok video that has since gone viral, getting thousands of comments from viewers who say the facility’s response was both wrong and potentially illegal.
The woman, who goes by Emily on TikTok (@emilylopezzzz), said she and her husband had planned the trip to World Springs to celebrate their anniversary and her birthday. Emily said she brought her breast pump and a small container of breastmilk with her, as she is currently pumping for her newborn baby at home.
