The agreement, announced by New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, called for Barnes &amp; Noble to educate its employees about the chain’s own policies on public breast-feeding and to strengthen customer complaint procedures. The settlement followed a complaint by Shereen Matera of Oakland, New Jersey, who said she was breastfeeding her infant son in the children’s section of a Barnes &amp; Noble store in Nanuet, New York when an assistant manager asked that she cover her breasts. “We’ve provided safe environments for women to breastfeed since we opened our first store,” a representative for Barnes &amp; Noble, which also issued her a $50 gift card, said.</p><br clear="all"/>
