Shocked at breastfeeding policy for a craft centre / attraction

[Ducky5867]

Looking at visiting a craft centre near me - went onto their website and viewed their visitor information and noted the following statement

"We welcome discrete breastfeeding on our site, but would appreciate care being taken not to cause embrassement to our other customers."

Very shocked at this ..... They feel their customers would be embrassed by a baby having their lunch - how kind of them to even allow it - we should all be so greatful!!

My dd2 is nearly 1 yr so won't need to breastfeed during daytime but this has wound me up so much that I will never go there now ..... Shoud I go further and send them an email of complaint or am I being over sensitive?

I would ask them to explain what they mean by discrete, why they think that other customers might be embarrassed, and what they would do precisely if another customer complained they felt embarrassed . Then I would point to this

Up here in Scotland we have much better protection in law - hopefully the same thing will happen in the rest of the UK soon.

Link!

You need to tell them that you'll never darken their door and why.

[sillyoldfool]

link!!! that's awful, they probably think they're being good and supportive by saying they welcome discrete bfing, which makes it worse.

[noodleone]

Isn't it the law? They don't get to have a policy! Link and shame

[Pozzled]

OMG I had been hoping you weren't serious!

[ImFineThankYou]

That is disgusting. Are they on twitter?

[lagoonhaze]

facebook campaign/ nurse in?

[ivykaty44]

Well well well - this is somewhere my dd's club go! This is not on

[AnyoneButLulu]

That's OK, presumably "discrete" breast feeding means one infant per breast.

Unless they're illiterate as well as discriminatory, in which case they can fuck off.

[gamerchick]

Oh dear, poor wording that is. Do they police the breastfeeding I wonder.. Some people bitch and complain even if they can't see anything. Then what?

[IJustNeedANap]

I think we should bombard them with complaints

[ImFineThankYou]

@jinneyringcraft on twitter and on fb

[ivykaty44]

mass emailing?

[NorfolkIngWay]

I would get both out and breast feed the whole family while dancing on the table not really

Call them on it OP !

[ivykaty44]

So what would happen if you did embarrass another customer even if you were swinging your tits about - would they tell you off like a naughty school girl?

[EhricLovesTeamQhuay]

Surely they mean discreet?
