What do I do if another customer asks me to tell a mother to stop breastfeeding her baby?

The law in Wales (and England and Scotland) means that a mother cannot be stopped from breastfeeding her baby in a public place. If someone asks you to stop a mother from breastfeeding you could let them know about the law (The Equality Act 2010) and show them the Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme staff information sheet if you have it available.  You could ask the person who raised the concern if they would feel more comfortable moving to sit somewhere else if that is appropriate (you must not ask the mother to move).
