Woman Breast-Feeding in Primark
Discussion
First off, if this is true then it is terrible - Mrs L-F gave birth to our first child a year ago and I fully support the right and need of women to breastfeed in public.
But for some reason, this just isn't ringing true with me:

It is difficult to believe. There just has to be more. But for some reason, this just isn't ringing true with me:
There's a Starbucks in a shopping centre where I take Mrs DS. There is a corner that nursing mothers use just after taking their kids to school. There are no signs. The first time I went there I noticed that whilst the floor of the place was packed, there was the small area with just two women in it and three or four empty tables.
I'm not one for atmospheres. I just opened the laptop and started to work. After a while I eventually realised. Not the most comfortable time I've had packing my gear away, so to speak.

The company said it had investigated the customer's claim and reviewed CCTV footage from the time in question.
It also said it had spoken to the security guards on duty, who "deny behaving in the way alleged" and who did not fit the description given by the customer.
It concluded "that the customer's allegation is not supported by the available evidence to date".

On Tuesday afternoon a spokesman for the discount clothing store said: “We have investigated this customer’s allegation which we naturally take very seriously indeed.“The CCTV footage, reviewed by store management, shows the customer in the Leicester store quite clearly during the time in question. We can see no evidence that she was approached by anyone during this period.
“We have spoken to the security guards on duty. They categorically deny behaving in the way alleged. Furthermore the individuals do not fit the description given by the customer. [Starmer later told another media outlet the security guard in question was Asian and around 5ft 10ins tall.]
“We have therefore concluded that the customer allegation is not supported by the available evidence to date. The company would obviously be happy to work with any police investigation into this incident, should this be needed."

Changing room or baby change a better option?
Baby changing room is usually combined with the disabled toilet. It's not exactly a nice, comfortable or overly hygienic place to feed your child. And apart from the bog seat there's nowhere to sit. I don't think a mother should have to go and sit on a crapper to feed her child. Grumfutock said:
So it is all a load of crap? Well I think Primark should sue her, this will be all over Facebook by tomorrow with the 'yea right on' brigade demanding action, so it may damage their image. Sue the crap out of her for compo. It might send a message to others.
I kind of agree with this.She has clearly made it all up and publicly damaged their reputation.
