MONTREAL – One week ago, Global News told you about a mother who was urged to breastfeed in private at downtown shopping mall, Place Montreal Trust.
On Friday that same shopping centre invited nursing mothers to participate in a public breastfeeding demonstration.
Dozens of women fed their children in the same food court where the incident occurred last Friday.
Place Montreal Trust is the first mall to join The Milk Way initiative, an organization that encourages breastfeeding in public by creating comfortable places where mothers can nurse their children.
In a statement, they said the aim of the event was, “to demonstrate Place Montréal Trust’s support for, and commitment to, the community of breastfeeding mothers, as well as to encourage Montrealers to stand behind moms who want to feed their babies wherever they choose.”
