Right to breastfeed - Local News - News - General - Bunbury Mail

Jess and her son Oscar

A LOCAL mother is taking on the State Government after she was humiliated for breastfeeding in public recently.
Jess Beven was out to lunch with friends and family when she discreetly began breastfeeding her nine-month-old son Oscar.

"I couldn’t believe he said that."
