Great idea, Karen.

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).
