Breastfeeding Rights...Good to Know

• You have the right to breastfeed a child in public areas.

• No one should prevent you from nursing your child because you are in a public area.

• No one should ask you to cover up, disturb you or ask you to move to another area that is more discreet.

For more information about your rights and breastfeeding visit The Ontario Human Rights Commission at www.ohrc.on.ca or call 1-800-387-9080.
