Marguerite Sinnott was breastfeeding her 7-month-old baby at the UCD swimming pool when a member of staff approached her.The mum was stunned when they told her that she isn't allowed to breastfeed her child at the pool. Not only did they shame her for breastfeeding, but they also asked her to leave. Writing about the"degrading" incident on Twitter, Marguerite said no mother should be shamed for breastfeeding her child in public."I was alone in the toddler pool with my baby and my two other small children when my baby became agitated. I sat out on the side of the toddler pool to settle him by breastfeeding while watching my older two."
So this isn't about one incident, one person, or one place. The replies show that any institution that wants to be more welcoming to breastfeeding women just needs to ask women for advice on how they can do better.
