Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion
Ms Fiona Rea:
I would not single men out. It is everybody. A mother would not find somewhere to feed the baby in every shopping centre. The expectation is that the mother goes to the toilet, which is disgraceful. Mothers who were sitting on benches in Dundrum Shopping Centre feeding their babies have been asked whether they would feel more comfortable doing it somewhere else and the suggestion is the nearest toilet. Nobody wants to eat their lunch in a toilet.
