UK mum thrown off a bus for breastfeeding her daughter
Yes, that has really happened. A bus driver told her to get off after a passenger complained and in the pouring rain she had to get out with her hungry 6 week old baby girl.
Anyone that has had a baby knows that you can’t always time feeds around being at home. My youngest needed a feed every 2 hours. I had two other children and couldn’t just lock myself away for a year. Yes you can be discreet, but not always. At the end of the day if you are going to breastfeed you do have to get your breast out and that is what they are for.
Fortunately the bus company have apologised but it does make me angry that there are still people that think it is disgusting and obscene to feed your baby as nature intended.

Was that in Spain? Or UK?
This was in the UK, surprise surprise….I actually don’t know the Spanish views on breastfeeding and am struggling to think of a time when I have actually noticed a Spanish woman breastfeeding in public. The Spanish are so welcoming of children but does this extend to breastfeeding in public?
Any thoughts?
