Quoting Bonnie from 18:53, 29th Apr 2006
Besides, isn't it now illegal in Scotland to stop a mother from breast-feeding a child? I think I remember it being in the news/being a thing about two years ago.
It is Bonnie, but this woman wasn't in Scotland unfortunately. She did consider staying put but was made to feel so uncomfortable by the people staring that she unlatched her baby - which is bloody painful - causing the kid to scream the centre down and finished feeding in her car.
When I was breastfeeding I discovered that several of the breastfeeding areas in shopping centres are simply an armchair in the ladies toilets. Now I don't know about the rest of you but I wouldn't eat my dinner in a toilet so why should I expect Euan to? So, in my own mini protest I would sit on the benches in the middle of the centre feeding Euan, safe in the knowledge that they would be breaking the law if they asked me to move.
No one complains about bottle feeding babies, yet we all know "breast is best" so why is it so damn hard to breastfeed in public?
