Re: Mums Stage Breastfeeding Protest At Claridge's

So a woman decides to do it in Claridges restaurant, obviously not a cheap place to eat, I would expect a certain level of standard from a place like that. So this woman did not get told not to do it, but to be more discreet. I find that a fair response from the restaurant. But what winds me up is this woman took selfies before (looking all smiley and smug), then another covered up. All bit ostentatious if you ask me.

But this woman had to report her abuse of her liberties, which again is just all a bit pathetic. Other say she could have gone to the loo to do it, why not just in the lobby and not the restaurant?

The other bit where other women stage a protest is just taking the biscuit over some non story of someone who didn't like being told what to do (albeit in a place like that it must have been very politely), for all we know she could have been looking to make some statement on purpose just for this attention (hence the selfies).

It's not the act that's the problem, but the response that is pathetic.
If you saw the picture without the napkin, you would have seen she was being discreet - surely putting the napkin over her baby attracted more attention; her pictures weren't before and after pictures, they were with and without a napkin, trying to show which was more "discreet", and which was likely to attract attention.



You are right - some of the responses are pathetic.....
