Fund an awareness campaign to normalise breastfeeding

Petition Details

As a breastfeeding mother, I have faced unwanted, negative comments from others about breastfeeding, in particular, the sharing of my breastfeeding photos on social media.

I feel strongly that this is discrimination against something which is such a positive and natural thing to do.

Additional Information

The law protects a women’s right to breastfeed in public and against discrimination from employers but many women can still be put off by these unwanted comments. The Government should launch an awareness campaign to support these women and educate the wider public about breastfeeding. Feeding our children should be looked upon as normal and positive.
