Edinburgh Evening News article
"Organisers of a government summit on breastfeeding have been blasted by politicians and doctors after they told mums they were not welcome to breastfeed at the event.
Delegates who asked to bring their babies to the conference at Murrayfield Stadium were told by officials the venue “is not designed to accommodate breastfeeding.”"
How utterly bizarre. This is the flyer for the event which shows that the questions they are trying to address include "What can we all do to remove some of the barriers (to bfing), perceived or otherwise?"
Weelll for starters, how about not making women feel like it's some kind of esoteric activity that can only happen in specially designed facilities rather than just on a comfortable chair (preferably!).
