Media request – mums who have been treated unfairly when breastfeeding in public

Please respond to Andi from Channel 5 not on this post as I won’t be around to pass messages on.

Dear Lisa

I’m contacting you from The Wright Stuff Extra, a daytime spin off of The Wright Stuff, hosted by Gabby Logan every weekday morning on Channel 5 from 11.10am

On tomorrow’s show, to mark World Breastfeeding Week, we’ll be talking about breastfeeding in public and people’s attitudes towards it.  We sent a camera crew to Romford in Essex to a cafe there that has joined Havering Council’s Breastfeeding Friendly Scheme (a scheme many other council’s are starting up too).

After we’ve shown the short film we’ll come back to the studio and I was wondering if you knew of any mum’s who had maybe been treated unfairly when breastfeeding in public.  Perhaps they have been asked to leave or go to into a toilet, or whatever.  It would be good if you knew of somebody who would be willing to talk with Gabby over the phone about their experience to continue the debate about people’s attitudes towards public feeding.

Many thanks

Andi
