This is for all the mothers who fear breastfeeding their baby publicly..."think of it not as your right to breastfeed, but as your baby's right to eat". This statement was made today at the Region of Waterloo's Public Health 'Baby-Friendly Initiative Forum' on Breastfeeding in our Community. And doesn't that just say it all? Among today's speakers was Barbara Hall, of Ontario's Human Rights Commission. I listened intently as she spoke about the rights of pregnant woman and really felt saddened to learn that there are pregnant woman who are being discriminated against for breastfeeding in public. In Ontario, woman are legally protected from harassment and discrimination because of their gender....and this protection includes pregnancy and breastfeeding.
