Blimey - Facebook has removed our picture of a baby being breastfed...

Many of you will remember the recent kerfuffle involving a breastfeeding mother being told by Claridge's staff to cover herself (and her baby) up with a napkin. It generated lots of discussion on MN, and we duly posted a link to the thread on our Facebook page, accompanied by this image of a baby being breastfed.

We were more than a bit taken aback to discover this morning that the post has been removed - apparently for failing to follow Facebook's community standards. Find out more over here - and if you think this is as bonkers as we do, do feel free to share!

Indeed they do, Soupdragon - but they've recently revised their guidelines on this. All the more confusing - have a look at the page we've made over here if you have a min.

Hello all

Facebook have been in touch, and have asked us to pass on the following message:

"This content was removed in error. As our team processes more than one million reports each week, we occasionally make a mistake. We agree that breastfeeding is natural and beautiful. Images of mothers breastfeeding their infants have always been allowed on Facebook.”
