Breastfeeding in public in Ealing - help us create a breastfeeding map

[LocalEditorEaling]

It's time to make breastfeeding in public places easier and more enjoyable.

We would love to hear about your views and experiences of nursing out and about in Ealing to create a breastfeeding map.

Our local companies can then be awarded with "BF friendly" badges, etc. Possibilities are endless!

Let the revolution begin!

I find Ealing very bf friendly, you get a few looks here and there, but ignorant people are everywhere. Ealing is also fully of organisations for bf support which helped me enormously during the first weeks. a map would be useful.

I haven't had a negative experience yet but I am very conscious and try to be as discreet as I can. My DS is only 3 weeks so it's easy to do so. Also, I have only tried Ealing Broadway Centre shops so far.

In the 14 months that I have been feeding DS, I have fed him in many places and was lucky not to get any looks. As a PP said, Ealing is very Bf friendly. I especially liked feeding him in Carluccios, Cafe Rouge, Costa Coffee and Starbucks. In the summer I also fed him often while sat on the benches in Walpole Park, also on the benches outside Waitrose.

Like the other posters, I found Ealing a very friendly place to BF. Particularly good is Cafe Nero Ealing Broadway - staff are always helpful and willing to carry your tray for you if you have baby in tow. Likewise M&S Cafe. Never had any problems with funny looks or comments (or not that I noticed anyway!)

That's good to hear, ladies. Keep them coming.

We hear there is a "Nurse-In" tomorrow at 2pm in Sports Direct, Ealing Broadway branch. It would be interesting to see their reaction.

Hello,

Here is the event page for tommorow's nurse-in.

Be lovely to see you there :)
Everyone welcome :)

For those who are wondering how the event went - there were 12 women and Sports Direct ended up calling the Police!

We can safely say that Sports Direct hasn't made it to our bf-friendly map!
