Whether a woman should breastfeed in public or not has been the topic of heated debate recently.
Last year, Lou Burns was asked to cover herself up, as she breastfed in Claridge’s, sparking a protest outside the hotel.
Now the government is weighing in by encouraging women to feed their children in public without shame.
Despite it being illegal to ask a breastfeeding woman to leave a public place, Public Health England found that more than a third of mothers still feel too embarrassed to do it.
Over a half of those surveyed said they would take steps to hide breastfeeding, by using a blanket for example.
