It's 2018, yet the breastfeeding in public 'debate' is still ongoing. Sigh.
Women who breastfeed in public places are variously insulted, asked to move or even told to cover themselves.
Posts and photos on social media showing mums breastfeeding their babies receive complaints, and of course, the unholy trifecta Boris Johnson, Jeremy Clarkson and Nigel Farage have some insulting things to say about the natural act of feeding a child.
With all this in mind, it's understandable that many women would feel uncomfortable or unsure over where they can and can't breastfeed in public.
Enter this amazing cafe.
BREASTFEEDING MUMS:
Pop in and have a FREE cup of tea if you need a pitt stop...No need to eat, no need to ask - Please relax :)Â
This sign belongs to The Willows Cafe and Wine Bar in Sydney.
Owner Natala Bain told Mashable Australiathat she had taken the idea from a sign she saw outside a British cafe in 2014, which went viral.
I'm a young mum myself and I had just had my first child, and thought that it's a good thing to do.
It's really to make breastfeeding moms feel welcome.
