204. Did you know that McDonalds and IKEA won the "Booby prize"?

Fast food chain McDonald's has been named shamed for forcing new mums to breastfeed in the toilets.

Ronald McDonald was left red-faced after the firm was awarded the 'Booby Prize' by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) after many mums complained they were told to stop feeding their children or to use a toilet cubicle.

Ikea came out top among the 211 mums who nominated the 'breast' and worst companies for breastfeeding.

The Scandinavian furniture store won the Booby Award for outstanding service to breastfeeding mums. It offers private partitions with comfortable chairs in its cafes, as well as welcoming the practice throughout the store.
