Amazon apologizes after barring breastfeeding mother from business course

While traveling to the event in Dunfermline, Bews received a call from Amazon stating that children under the age of six are not permitted on fulfillment center sites due to health and safety regulations. Bews expressed her disappointment and frustration, feeling that such opportunities should be inclusive for breastfeeding mothers and that she was not expecting to bring her baby into the fulfillment center itself, but rather have her husband care for her nearby.

Amazon acknowledged the poor communication of their site access policy, stating that it should not have happened and that they understand Bews' frustration. The company confirmed that while they offer paid breastfeeding breaks and lactation rooms for employees, they cannot allow infants on site. Amazon has invited Bews to a future event and is reviewing its communication processes to prevent similar occurrences.
