...but I'd be thrilled to get lots of MNers to sign this petition .

This is not a breast vs bottle campaign. It is simply calling for the same legislation to be introduced in England and Wales as became law today in Scotland, allowing breastfeeding mothers to nourish their babies, whenever and wherever bottlefeeding is permitted, without fear of discrimination. No more rude remarks from cafe owners and swimming pool managers, or being made to breastfeed in the loo...

So, whether you're a breast- or bottle-feeder, please sign and help this campaign on its way! Thanks.

Bump (sorry - gone obsessed with bumping this!!!)

i'mm not a parent (yet) but have signed it anyhow, as i'd like the option of feeding my child where eva I deem fit, and not have to worry about being stared at etc.. or feeling uncomfortable. I think really they should have a designated area in shopping centres or something at least.

just wanted to give my support i BF my DS and live in Scotland when I was feeding him i felt so funny about feeding in public used to go back to the car hell or high water. If the law had been in place when I was feeding it would have lifted what is basically just stigma. If everyone felt comfortable doing it then people would soon stop finding it strange

I never had a problem feeding anywhere - was I just lucky then ? I was always fairly discrete. If anyone had complained I would have just pointed out the baby needed feeding and so I was feeding it.
