Blimey - Facebook has removed our picture of a baby being breastfed...

Many of you will remember the recent kerfuffle involving a breastfeeding mother being told by Claridge's staff to cover herself (and her baby) up with a napkin. It generated lots of discussion on MN, and we duly posted a link to the thread on our Facebook page, accompanied by this image of a baby being breastfed.

We were more than a bit taken aback to discover this morning that the post has been removed - apparently for failing to follow Facebook's community standards. Find out more over here - and if you think this is as bonkers as we do, do feel free to share!

Hello all

Facebook have been in touch, and have asked us to pass on the following message:

"This content was removed in error. As our team processes more than one million reports each week, we occasionally make a mistake. We agree that breastfeeding is natural and beautiful. Images of mothers breastfeeding their infants have always been allowed on Facebook.”

Indeed they do, Soupdragon - but they've recently revised their guidelines on this. All the more confusing - have a look at the page we've made over here if you have a min.
