I think the most important step is staff training in a consistently-welcome policy. So staff need to know - as part of their induction, alongside all the stuff they have to learn about fire safety and hygiene and where the dirty linen goes - what they do about bf situations. For example, if someone comes and tells them someone is breastfeeding and they don't like it, then that someone gets offered a different table where they can't see it (rather than the mother being asked to move).
