Quote of the Day

I think breastfeeding in public makes a fair amount of people uncomfortable, particularly when the restaurant has run out of milk for coffee. But one English mother who got kicked off the bus in the pouring rain for breastfeeding her six-week-old might be a bit of a stretch for even the most ardent breast hater.

A young mother has spoken of her fury today after she was accused of ‘indecent exposure’ and thrown off a bus – for breastfeeding her hungry six-week-old daughter.

Amy Wootten, 25, was travelling home in Bristol when she started feeding Emily.

But then, without warning, the driver stopped the packed bus and told her to get off. Despite it pouring with rain, he threatened to call the police if she didn’t get off at the next stop.

She said: ‘The bus driver told me someone had said I was indecently exposing myself and said stop or get off my bus.

‘I was showing a tiny bit of breast, but is it any different to showing your arm or your foot?’

UPDATE: Surveillance footage revealed that the woman was lying. But still..amusing quote all the same.
