I'll try and keep it brief - long time lurker but first post so I want to get it right for all you lovely MNers!
I have a 3mo DC. I've been offered some short term work (for about 2 weeks). It's all done remotely on the computer, hence why I applied for it.
However now I've been accepted for the work, I've found out that they expect me to do a training day. I emailed them and explained that I have a 3mo who is EBF and asked if there are any facilities for me to bring the baby (to be fair I should have been clearer - I meant is there baby changing etc so I can sit in the training with DC with me).
They replied and said there are no childcare facilities and that it wouldn't be ok for me to bring DC with me so what I should do is turn down the work.
Is this allowed??! I totally understand that they might not want to have a baby in the room while they're doing the training, but I thought that by law there's some protection there, especially because DC is EBF?

AIBU?
To think this is discrimination?
