Amazon barred a mother from attending an in-person business course at a fulfillment center in Dunfermline, Scotland, after telling her that children under six are not permitted on site. Rachel Bews notified Amazon a week before the event that she needed to bring her 20-week-old baby while breastfeeding. The company informed her on the day of travel that the policy applies to all visitors and employees and prohibits children under six. Amazon apologized, said the health and safety rule had not been communicated clearly, and said it was reviewing its communications. Bews said a lactation room existed at the venue but she had not prepared sterilised bottles or equipment for expressing milk. She noted that she could continue the online portion of the six-week course but missed the in-person networking opportunities. NHS guidance advises employees who are breastfeeding to inform their employer before returning to work and states that continuing to breastfeed is possible. The incident highlights challenges for working mothers seeking professional development and raises questions about accommodation policies at large retailers.
