Equality Act 2010: A clear law for women breast-feeding babies

The Government supports women who want to breast-feed their baby. But many women do not know what their rights are. As a result, many woman do not breast-feed their babies in shops, cafés and other public places, in case the owner asks them to leave.

So the Equality Act makes it clear that it is against the law to stop a woman breast-feeding her baby in places like coffee shops, buses, and restaurants, or to ask her to leave.

We believe in breastfeeding and welcome your feedback.
