New breastfeeding cafe is the first of its kind in the UK

A young mother in the U.K. is serving up a cozy space for families in her new breastfeeding café. Charlotte Purdie’s idea to open the café in Nottingham came after she gave birth to her first child, she explained to the BBC. Purdie kept looking for “clean or comfortable” places to breastfeed in her area, and could find none. Ignoring the naysayers who said opening up a breastfeeding café was a “crazy” idea, she drew up a plan, borrowed money from investors, and The Milk Lounge was born.
