I found this journal from another com. Normally wouldn't do this, but I think you need to be told.
Texas law does state that you can breastfeed in any public, or private place. However, The RMH is a PRIVATE location. You don't have the right to just walk in there and start breastfeeding. You have to be invited to stay there. You might as well think of it as someone else's house. The fact that they provide somewhere else for you (collective) to breastfeed, means you have no right to make a fuss about not being allowed to nurse in the COMMUNAL area.
They have every right to remove you if you do not comply with their rules. You are not the only ones there, and you're not the only ones there with sick kids. I'm willing to bet there were children there worse off than your nephews.
They are not discriminating against nursing mothers, as they provide somewhere for women to breastfeed: Their own private rooms. Contrary to what you might think, your sister doesn't have the right to breastfeed where ever she wants, especially in a place like the RMH, where there are constantly sick kids, and the parents of sick kids around.
