I appreciate that this is an older article but I've missed a lot of stuff and when I find stuff, it just needs to be shown.

Here is an article which is about the law and breast feeding from Unity Law:

I've got to say I've not had a problem feeding my little girl anywhere I've been :nod: (although I would be the first to have a go if I was told to stop anyway :lol. To start with, some people were a bit awkward if they noticed what I was doing ... but because I didn't show any embarrassment they soon got over it.

Some women prefer to cover, others don't. It shouldn't make a difference IMO

My daughter feeds her 16 week old daughter wherever she is, pub , high street or wherever.
She just ignores the rest of society and says "baby needs feeding so baby is fed"
Some holiday makers complained to the owner of her local pub when she started feeding .......... so he told them they could either stop watching or were free to leave!

I got tutted at once (when my girl was tiny) by a lady in a beer garden ... she wanted me to go and feed her in the loo's instead because I was putting her off her meal. She got told that the staff would happily put a table in there if she wanted to eat where she couldn't see me, but that I was welcome to feed my baby where I liked :lol:
