The ‘Breastfeeding policy’ of KLM airlines makes a severe outcry

KLM, the dutch airlines have made a turbulence recently on Twitter regarding their ‘Breastfeeding policy’, that provoked many people.

The airlines told a customer it might ask mothers to cover themselves while breastfeeding. This policy of the airlines has sparked a backlash on Twitter, with many people criticising the policy.

Reports said that a lady named Shelby Angel, who was travelling on a KLM flight from San Francisco to Amsterdam last month had been asked to cover herself up while breastfeeding her baby. A flight attendant gave her a blanket and warned her to cover up if she planned to breastfeed her baby.

Shelby Angel said in her Facebook post, “Before we even took off, I was approached by a flight attendant carrying a blanket. She told me (and I quote) ‘if you want to continue doing the breastfeeding, you need to cover yourself”.

Angel said that she denied the flight attendant’s words telling that her baby will not be comfortable with a blanket while breastfeeding.

This Twitter post of the KLM airlines has provoked many people. The Twitter users asked other airlines, such as British Airways and EasyJet, about their breastfeeding policies.
