A couple of years ago we echoed this wonderful initiative from a bar in Argüello, Córdoba, Argentina, which is still in force and deserves to be shared and imitated, since unfortunately mothers and their nursing babies are not welcome in all places.
Rojas Resto Bar invites mothers to breastfeed their babies without asking for permission . And not only that, but they also treat them to a free tea or juice while they feed their babies. An example of empathy and generosity that I wish all sites would take note of.
On January 5 they have uploaded a photo of their now famous poster to their Facebook profile in which we can read:
“Mom: if you want to breastfeed your baby … come in without asking permission and ask for a free tea or juice (you don’t need to buy anything)”
The response has been overwhelming. Both customers and people who want to know the site give their congratulations and the publication has been shared more than three thousand times.
Breastfeeding is a human right for mothers and babies recognized by the UN, and it is essential that the whole of society is committed to promoting and facilitating it when and where it is needed.
The teat has no schedules and babies can claim food or contact at any time. When we are on the street, it is appreciated to find friendly places like this bar in Córdoba to be able to breastfeed our babies quietly, so we congratulate them for this beautiful gesture towards nursing mothers and their children.
This should be the norm in all restaurants, bars, shopping centers and public places, because a baby has the right to be fed regardless of where it is , and the mother also has the right to breastfeed in public without qualms or disapproving looks.
