Our report, Breastfeeding at Municipal Pools in Canada, is now online in
both html and pdf formats at: http://www.mediaworkswest.com/BACE/index.html

Excerpts from the intro page:

"Women breastfeeding in public are sometimes treated in disrespectful and
even humiliating ways.  They experience disapproving looks, rude remarks,
requests to cover up and even outright demands to use public washrooms or to
leave public places. . . ."

"Read our report and find out --

- What the administrators of swimming pools in twenty-three Canadian cities
said about breastfeeding at (and in) their pools.
- Why breastfeeding a baby in the water is no danger to the baby or anyone
else.
- Why babies need to breastfeed now - not later.
- Why many people are uncomfortable with breastfeeding in public.
- How women feel about breastfeeding in public and how they feel when asked
not to.
- What the legal rights of breastfeeding women are.
- What pool administrators, cities and governments can do to ensure that
public facilities become or remain "breastfeeding friendly"."
