A water park faces criticism for banning breastfeeding, despite the fact that bodily fluids are already present in the water. The incident sparked outrage and led to a change in the park's policy.
It is ironic that any water park would prohibit breastfeeding when the entire point of these places is for people to swim around semi-dressed.everywhere, it’s inevitable that there will be some sweat, saliva, hair, urine, and even fecal matter found in the water. It is ridiculous to claim that breastmilk would ‘contaminate’ the water.
However, at the time, Tiffany didn’t feel like the apology was sufficient. “I don’t feel a sincere apology at all, but they said, ‘Oh, well, we’ve said sorry.’ And they’ve changed their unwritten policy to say you can now do something that was already legal,” she said. “I looked up the law and saw that mothers have the right to breastfeed anywhere they are reasonably allowed to be with their child. So I reached out to professionals in the aquatics field and to the local health department, which didn’t have a policy set aside from no food or drink in the pools.”
