Backlash for breastfeeding at play group

That’s so awful, I’m sorry you experienced that ☹️

Omg that is horrible, so sorry you went through that. If you feel like it later on it might be worth telling the people running it what happened (unless they saw it anyway and didn't do anything).

That's really horrible, sorry that happened to you. That's really unwelcoming, and feeding isn't a competition! Sending hugs

@Tanya I thought about it, but the lady who was doing all the organising and seemed to run the club seemed the most pally with the “do you think you’re better than us” lady… so unfortunately I get the impression toxic ladies are welcome because the ring leader is toxic herself 😢 I won’t be returning, and warning my other friends!

She must be organising this by getting funding from a local authority or a charity I assume? Definitely report, they shouldn’t be allowing this to happen

I’d report this. You shouldn’t feel bad about however you feed your baby especially at a baby group! It’s disgusting behaviour, there’s already too much judgment on everything we do as mothers without people going on like this. Please don’t let this put you off other groups as they’re not all like this, I go to some amazing baby/toddler groups

Wow that’s horrendous! The groups should be safe spaces where we can feed in whatever way without fear of being judged! Xx

Wow. They sound like a delightful group of women. I wouldn’t be going back to that group! Way to support other mums! There are far more supportive groups out there If the organiser didn’t seem approachable I’d be that person that posted a review online (on their socials etc) to make other mums aware how unsupportive it was!

Fuck them lot

That says a lot about them and their insecurities. So sorry you had to experience that when you are doing something so natural and so amazing for your baby. Breastfeeding it bloody hard and we should be praised not berated!! Definitely report them if you’re up for it, but don’t let it get to you. They sound like a sad group of toxic mums who have their own insecurities / issues with breastfeeding.

Morning ladies, you’re all right, I’m going to write a complaint to the group organiser and the church xx

I think they all have an inferiority complex. It's not anything to do with you. They're just jealous
