Hot and thirsty work (and not just me!)

Amie and I have been out on the campaign trail this week signing up restaurants and cafes to our charter which asks establishments to

"protect and respect a child's right to be breastfed whenever they need it, not to ask nursing mothers to move or cover up, but to welcome them and treat them like any other customer"

. We've had a great reaction so far with most places saying they are already completely welcoming towards bf mums. They are supportive of our window stickers and tend to agree with our point that although they may have a bf-friendly policy, it's not advertised and new mums with low confidence just need that extra little boost before they nurse in public (NIP). A lovely Italian cafe owner today offered me an avocado and honey smoothie to quench my thirst (Amber was quenching hers on the boob). But even she was distracted enough to down half of my smoothie and then casusally switch back to yours truly.
