Are they for real?

I'm kind of with the swimming pool on this one; they have a hygiene requirement to try to limit organic fluids getting into the pool, and if babies are allowed to breastfeed then they should be allowed to bottlefeed, and if babies can have bottles why not the mums having soda pop from bottles?

It's very awkward though, when you have another child who wants to go swimming, though. I don't know the answer.

try explaining that to the baby mloo.

So, me with my leaky breasts, would not be allowed in the pool? To minimise these 'organic fluids' that may get into the pool?
Esp as not feedng my baby would have made them even more leaky!

Isn't this rather No News?

She was told to stop. A member of staff was wrong to tell her to do so. The council has said it will ensure all staff are aware that it's fine for mums to bf at side of the pool. And the mother concerned says an apology is fine.

I can't believe it's being reported, to be honest.
