Restaurant's Sign Goes Viral After Offering Moms A Free Place To Relax

July 18, 2014

A restaurant in Cheltenham, England hung a chalkboard on an umbrella outside its establishment which read: "Breastfeeding mums – Pop in & have a free cup of tea if you need a pit stop… no need to eat, no need to ask – please relax :)"

"[The sign] was literally from a mum that was tired. I made her a cup of tea and she looked like I'd given her a million pounds," Brasserie Blanc's General Manager, Emma O'Connor, told The Independent.

"I wish I'd done it ages ago, if I'd known it would make people feel more confident.

"Sometimes you just need to sit down with your baby. Not everyone is as confident, and it's not as easy for everyone. You can't just sit on a park bench sometimes.

"We've had an unbelievable response. We've got emails from all over the place."

The photo has gone viral on Facebook, shared over 8,000 times with over 12,000 likes.
