just back from pool with my 2 dd. A woman and her friend were there with their babies who were about 5mo.

One of the women discreetly (wouldn't care if she wasn't tbh), began to bf. She was half in pool half out, in the very shallow end.

After about 5mins she was told to stop at once or leave. 2 men had complained, reasons given were

their children would see her breast and be offended.
their children would ask questions. wtf!
it's "disgusting"
there are germs in the water and she shouldn't do it there.

this was all echoed by the manager (a man) who then asked her to leave.

I am absolutely furious.

Can they do this?

of course not juuule. she can hold any opinion she likes. whether or not it is informed insightful, logical and based on good practice is entirely different and may only be worth ignoring.

this topic has been boring me for a while so i won't be responding to anything else on it. I am too busy these days to be concerned with it anymore.
