Breastfeeding during parent & me swimming class

Sounds like the baby was doing a drive-by snack or needed soothing sometimes that’s what you have to do. Not a big deal at all.

It disgusting and the woman is an exhibitionist. Some women have no understanding of discretion.

But I doubt there is any documented case of HIV transmission from sharing a chlorinated pool with a lactating woman. Of course health care workers can and will still follow best practices when dealing with it especially when not enveloped in chlorinated water. Fears of indoor chlorine exposure are probably more logical for everyone involved in this particular scenario.

That said I don’t really care if they ban breastfeeding in the pool but if you’re going by some of the logic here you need to ban all lactating women, children who have a scrape, etc.

Came here to say this! The "it's unhygienic to have breast milk in a pool!" people do not know how lactating boobs work... ICYMI, they can and do leak.
