Breastfeeding at Olympics - disgrace

[BondiBaby]

Hi All,

I was hoping for some Mumsnet support on this matter. I am due to attend the equestrian at Greenwich park on Monday and have been advised by a Dr not to take my 4mth old given the hot weather. I live 5mins walk from the entrance and asked London 2012 if I can be given a pass out in order to breastfeed my baby. I have been told "there are no passes out". Given my baby will not take a bottle I am now being discriminated against and will not be able attend, unless I ignore Drs advice and take her to the event.

I have asked that the issue is escalated with their customer services but dont have a huge amount of faith that I will hear back positively before Monday. I hope reaching out to all you lovely ladies may give some pressure to the situation.

Many Thanks - Elisabeth

Come off it!! The forecast for Monday is fine - not too hot at all. Anyway, keep ehr in shade, sun lotion, covered up, yada yada. Get over yourself!! Anyway, the equestrian is for 5 hours so what were you planning on doing re bfing?? You have to feed her there. what's the problem??

Reading it again there is no longer a problem - the weather isn't going to be hot so you can just ignore the doctor(I would have ignored it in the first place).

Surely this thread is a wind up. I cant believe that
a) any doctor would tell someone not to take their baby outside at all, based on a couple of days of hot weather
and
b) that someone would actually think that the olympics would make that sort of exception to the security rules because they need to go home and breastfeed their baby.

Discrimination indeed!
