Breastfeeding friendly cafes in ED

[radnrach]

I'm meeting some friends for lunch in East Dulwich to meet my 4 week old, and was wondering what establishments are most breast-feeding friendly?

I mostly don't want to be made to feel uncomfortable, and I know some places 'frown on' women breastfeeding.

Any advice would be helpful!

Most places are fine during the day, I'd worry more about finding a comfortable seat. The Plough has lots of sofas. Nobody will have a problem with you breastfeeding there.

The cafe in Peckham Rye Park. It's wall to wall.

The bread of life cafe at the church on barry road is bf friendly. has lots of toys for babies and toddlers too.

Green and Blue.... good if yours will be the only baby, bit crowded if lots of buggies etc!

Ditto plough (though food not all that, can park though)

Magnolia, if open, very friendly

P Rye cafe and Bread of Life are packed with children, maybe not what you want if your friends don't have any?

Hisar is nice

Gosh, everywhere is in ED I think. I've breastfed all over- Blue Mountain, Mon Petite Chou, Green and Blue, Peckham Rye Pk cafe, various pubs, blah blah blah.

Also, no one can stop you BF in public, the law is on your side. So if they 'frown' on you doing it, it's their problem not yours.

I've breastfed in most cafes in ED with no problems at all. The Herne is very family oriented if you're after a pub. If you're uncomfortable, why not seat yourself with your back to the room/crowd and facing your friends and wall behind them - no one will be able to tell you're breastfeeding that way.
