Hi ! New to mumsnet so dont know how to start a new topic. Here it is -
two friends, A - v. pregnant, and L. - with seven month old daughter, were asked last Friday afternoon to leave nice pub where they were drinking coffee because L. started breastfeeding.
I am a friend and would like to organise a Feed In, involving several local mothers + babies, with a press photographer. Anyone out there willing to help, say next Thursday ?
020 7485 6862.
Forgot to mention that the cafe/pub is a popular place near Hampstead tube station.

Hampstead?? It's gone downhill obviously!

Would love to help but left there (and stopped BFing) years ago.

I'm not breastfeeding at the moment. How about the local NCT?

What pub? Name and shame. I have breastfed in every pub in north london and am that would happen.

Besides - it's against the law.

Agree. Name and shame! Would love to be part but sadly live MILES away in Yorkshire.
