Default Breastfeeding in public

This story was reported in Dorset and picked up by a red top. Now if you follow all the comments on the Dorset paper you will find that this story is disputed. You will also find my comments. (Why would anyone want to make that up?)

This was part of what I wrote

susifloozie there is also the possibility that someone impersonated a waitress, or to be more acurate a Barista, or could even have been an official from the nearby Dolphin centre. With all the scrutiny that goes on I would be suprised that someone would even think of trying somethink on

On Saturday I was in a Caffe Nero in Newcastle when a baby next to me started crying and his mother , who was with her mother, discretley started breast feeding. Prior to the feeding, while he was crying I discussed the checklist required when a baby cries.

No one complained and I was not going to either, given what the WHO says on this matter. It was either this or a screaming baby. I was between the line of sight from the counter, so blocking the view from there, but even so I was worried one of the Baristas might spot this and intervene (How many are aware of the law?) My only comment to this lady was to let her know, should she need it that the downstairs disabled lavatory had a baby change facility. I am trying to be the progressive modern enlightened male here
My comments also covered other matters beyond the scope of this thread.

So are people here for or against breastfeeding in public or should this be done out of site, if at all, and possibly in the lavatory where women used to be directed to.
