My DH works in an office with 4 women. All 4 have children under 2 ( we also have one DS 18 months).
Recently, when he leaves the office for a minute and returns he's often locked out as one or the other of his 4 female colleagues are expressing. Yes, all 4 babies are still being bf..(aged 2, 18m, 17m and 5m respectively)
There is a bf room in a building nearby ( I think it's a long walk from their office though)
In principle DH is supportive of their choice to continue to bf when back at work but he is really starting to feel errr.... discriminated against!
DH is no shrinking violet but neither is he very interested in what he thinks as a women's choice to bf.
I'm kinda on his side in this. Must be really annoying to be continually locked out of the office ( not to mention he ends up staying at work extra hours catching up on stuff he can't do during the day while standing outside the office door)
A change of office is apparently out of the question and he hasn't brought it up with the women either. ( Just comes home seething and whinginig to me!)
Whatcha think?

AIBU?
Are DH's colleagues being unreasonable?
