Grey Bruce Health Unit Calls for Breastfeeding Friendly Businesses

The Grey Bruce Health Unit is reinforcing the importance of breastfeeding after reports a woman was kicked out of a Wiarton Restaurant while breast feeding her baby.

The Irish Cottage Kitchen and Alehouse in Wiarton allegedly asked a breastfeeding mother to leave the patio Friday.

The health unit says it is a normal activity and an important component of healthy infant growth and development.

It also suggests businesses create a welcome environment for the activity, and support breastfeeding at anytime, anywhere.

The Ontario Human Rights Code recognizes breastfeeding as a human right.

The health unit suggests businesses display a breastfeeding friendly sign to show leadership in promoting baby friendly culture in the community.
