For you Facebook people
Morgan Gallagher's blog
Last year (for those of you not in the know) Morgan, who champions infant feeding rights and has helped draw attention to situations at Yarl's Wood Detention centre when breastfed babies had been forcibly separated from their mothers, has organised another breastfeeding picnic this year, following on from the success of last year's.
She has also done another petition with regards to legislation protecting infant feeding here which I urge you all to sign - it will be presented to Downing Street on the day of the picnic.
Please attend (either virtually or in person if you can), if you can't make it to London, please check the facebook event for links to the regional events. I am organising the North East of England picnic which will be in Durham City Centre.
The picnic itself will consist of you bringing a packed lunch for yourself and children!
It went very well last year there was no trouble at all and an enjoyable time was had by all!
There was some press presence as well and I am hoping to organise some more for this year's picnic too!
Please note that you are very welcome to attend regardless of how you choose to feed your baby.
This isn't about breast vs formula - it's about protecting mothers' rights to feed their children as they choose (Gregg's sausage rolls & fruit shoots excepted )
Thank you all!!
North easters I will do a Facebook event but I have been ridiculously busy lately
