Hi Kerry,
I don't think you need one do you? It would be wrong to stop anyone
breastfeeding in public.
In fact in Scotland it will shortly become an offence to try to prevent
breastfeeding in public, under the recently passed Breastfeeding etc.
(Scotland) Bill, so well done Elaine Smith, MSP for Coatbridge and Chryston!
In this is says:
"it is an offence deliberately to prevent or stop a person in charge of a
child from feeding milk to that child in a public place or on licensed
premises."
