I didn't learn anything
I hadn't been to Kier Hardy children centre for a few months because I felt they were critical towards people's parenting styles, which I never seen in other children centres. A few days back, one snowing day in March 2018, I decided to go there with a mum friend. The baby play session went all fine. After the session finished, I sat on the nursing chair feeding my baby. There was a member of staff came and said 'Look, she doesn't look comfortable. She doesn't enjoy it. She's not hungry. She's distracted. You should feed her only if she cries for it.' I said 'It's a long walk to home. 30 minutes walk. I am worried she will be hungry and cry on the way back.' she then said 'OK. You can go there to feed her.' She pointed at a mat or a chair at the other end of the room. I didn't pay attention. I felt she wasn't very friendly so I thought to myself 'Maybe she's right. My baby isn't very hungry otherwise she would not turn her head while drinking milk.' So I said goodbye and left. 2 minutes after I left, my baby started to cry and I knew she's hungry. I started to run. But she was trying to jump out from the pram and her voice became more and more desperate. I made a decision - I knocked on someone's door. I asked if I could feed my baby in their hall way. Luckily the first door I knocked on was a nice old couple. She allowed me in and gave me a chair to sit on.
Kier Hardie children centre disencourage breastfeeding? I won't say that but for whatever reason, they wasn't happy for me to feed my baby on their nursing chair.
