Yes, it's another case of people who just don't get that babies get hungry and breasts are for feeding. A British mother was asked to stop nursing her six-month-old baby in a cafe by the owner who grabbed her drinks and told her to "get out." She was covered by a blanket and had not even started feeding her baby when she was asked to leave. She did protest as she was in a corner, covered up, but she was told other customers would be "offended."
Cafe owner Cyrus Ozdemir defended his actions by saying, "I can't have someone breastfeeding while another table is next to them eating." Ozdemir says he welcomes mothers and his cafe is very a kid-friendly spot, except, apparently, when babies are hungry. Ozdemir added, "At least she should turn away and do it in a proper way. She just argued with me while I politely asked her to leave."
I feel a nurse-in coming on. And rightly so.
