Due to Amazon’s refusal to allow her child to access the website, a nursing boss was excluded from a business course offered by the online retailer. A week before the in-person event at an Amazon warehouse in Dunfermline, Scotland, Rachel Bews claimed she had informed Amazon that she would need to bring her 20-week-old infant because she was nursing.
On the train to the event, she claimed to have been informed over the phone that children under six were not permitted on the premises. Amazon stated: “We sincerely apologise to Ms Bews that our site access policy was not communicated clearly before she travelled.”We can appreciate her frustration because that shouldn’t have occurred. Children under the age of six are not allowed at any of Amazon’s fulfillment centers, the store continued.We are examining our communication procedures to ensure this doesn’t happen again. This is a long-standing health and safety regulation that applies to all guests and staff.”
Bews revealed to The World Tonight on the BBC that the event on Friday included a lactation area where she could have expressed milk for her child. However, she said that since she hadn’t prepared for this, she didn’t have any sterile bottles or expressing tools. Not all breastfed infants would drink from a bottle, she continued.
