Amazon apologises after a company boss is told she cannot bring her breastfeeding baby to a business course. According to reports, the executive, Rachel Bews, says she was informed that her child would not be allowed on site, despite her intending to attend the training while breastfeeding. One account says the reason given was that breastfeeding her baby would create a health and safety risk, leading to her being barred from the course. Bews has said she communicated her situation in advance, but that her child was still not permitted.
The BBC reports that Amazon apologises for not communicating its policy clearly, implying that the guidance or restrictions were not made sufficiently explicit before the training took place. Other outlets similarly describe an apology from Amazon following the incident. The reports do not provide additional details on the specific course location, the exact policy text, or whether alternative arrangements were offered. Overall, the coverage centers on the decision to restrict the baby from being on site, and Amazon’s subsequent acknowledgement and apology regarding how the policy was communicated.
