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.
