Thread: Petition to allow BF to be permitted in public places

There is no law to say you can't breastfeed in public.
The law we have in scotland actually states that it is an offence to stop a mother bf in places like shops, pubs, restaurants, buses, shopping centres etc. Anywhere a child is already allowed in.
A company can be fined up to £2500 for stopping you from bf.

I breastfed in most places and never had any trouble from anyone and would have told them to stuff off if anyone had said anything. Will go and sign the petition though so that no one is put in that situation

happily signed it... i think this should be standard not something we have to fight for. it's our rights as mothers to feed our babies why should we hide away in shame for wanting the best for our babies. it's disgusting!!!

i would never feed my daughter in a toilet and always feed her in public. i have never had any probles so far. only a few looks, but i always give them back and have so far been left alone.

I have mainly received smiles when i have been feeding in public, and so it should be. it's a beautiful natural way of providing for your baby
