Happy World Breastfeeding in Public Day!

Remember, breastfeeding in public is protected by law💜

In England and Wales the Equality Act 2010 states that it is s*x discrimination to treat a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding.

In Scotland breastfeeding is protected by the Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 under which it is an offence to stop someone in a public place from feeding their child, if under two, with milk. The legislation allows for fines for preventing breastfeeding in public places.

✨Share to raise awareness of breastfeeding in public✨
