McDonalds tell woman to leave for breastfeeding.

McDonalds in Shrewsbury told a breast feeding woman NOT to feed in front of loads of people. I thought I would share this with everyone.

I know you are possibly all now thinking "Why was she in McDonalds?" anyway.

I've fed in one McDonalds loads of times.

RGPargy · 27/09/2007 14:30

Did you see this happen? I would have told them to fuck off.

It's unbelievable.

But doesn't surprise me at Macdonalds.

geordiemacminx · 27/09/2007 14:31

they wouls have to forceably evict me....

Apparentlt, allegedly McDonalds is the worst place to breastfeed (some poll a while ago). I wouldn't move. Bloody McDonalds.

You're Clare Verity so I presume you are telling us to write and commend them for the excellent job they are doing?

Threadworm · 27/09/2007 14:31

They prob think she should give the kid one of their horrible milkshakes

mykidsmum · 27/09/2007 14:32

the chairs at mcdonalds are so uncomfortable, would have hurt my back feeding there i reckon.

sweetkitty · 27/09/2007 14:32

In Scotland it is illegal to tell someone to stop breastfeeding.

Maybe they were p off the baby wasn't having McMilk and having some fries.

FPSML @ McMilk

Well, I wasn't there but would be tempted to do a sit but at 20 months old DS would probably not comply with the demo...but do feel some action would be good.

It's probably just an individual case - a new 24 year old manager who hasn't got a clue or something. I am pretty certain it's not company policy. But if anyone feels like kicking up a stink it can only do good as it might make head office send out directives to all their staff and make statements in the press about bf being a good thing (what with them trying to promote a healthy green image, tee hee).

geordiemacminx · 27/09/2007 14:53

oooo that was a bit age-ist...

toadstool · 27/09/2007 14:54

Wouldn't it only incite them to invent McNorks full of extra-sweetened formula?

EmsMum · 27/09/2007 14:55

I couldn't have BFd in a Macdonalds anyway... DD always took longer than 45 minutes

witchandchips · 27/09/2007 15:32

StealthPolarBear · 27/09/2007 15:34

At first it just made me confused!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 27/09/2007 15:34

I've never had a problem in McDonalds - fed DS in there a few times.

witchandchips · 27/09/2007 15:41
