I find it hard to believe that in this day and age we still hear stories about women receiving complaints when they breastfeed in public.
Thank goodness it's not the norm to hear stories such as this, but a bus company in Bristol has apologised for asking a young mother to get off a bus in the rain because she was breastfeeding.
Amy Wootten, 25, was travelling home from the city centre on the busy bus and was feeding her six-week-old daughter Emily.
The driver stopped the bus and asked Ms Wootten to stop because a passenger had complained.
When Ms Wootten refused he ordered her off the bus in Wells Road at around 4.30pm on Tuesday. The woman, a learning support assistant, then had to spend £8 on a taxi home!
As it was on a bus, I'm hoping it was some grumpy old man (not that I'm saying that only old people travel on buses!) who didn't know any better.
