In Scotland, breastfeeding and bottle feeding are both protected by the Breastfeeding
etc. (Scotland) Act 2005.
If a person deliberately prevents or stops someone from feeding a child under the age of two in a public place in Scotland they are committing a criminal offence. If a mother is asked to move to another part of the premises, or leave the premises completely this is also an offence. This applies to places that the mother and child has the legal right to be in.
This means that any person should be able to feed a child when required and in the most appropriate place for them, without the fear of interruption or criticism.
