Mothers who were invited to a conference intended to promote breastfeeding were left angry after they were told they could not breastfeed their children at the venue.
According to the Independent, the Scottish Government-organised Breastfeeding Summit was planned for health workers and volunteers.
The Scottish Sun reported that a number of women complained about the venue.
One woman told the Independent she received a letter from the venue after she informed them of dietary requirements stating: "It basically said thank you for your response, but it's not appropriate for nursing mothers to bring their babies, we will organise a separate meeting for mothers of babies.
"I was absolutely dumbfounded – I couldn't believe it at all, so much so that I actually had to go back and check the e-mail word for word to make sure I wasn't mistaken."
The Scottish government has now reported that it will provide services for mothers at the event at Murrayfield Stadium.
Scottish Labour MSP said: "I think it's astonishing that in the first place organisers of a conference on breastfeeding and breaking down the barriers on breastfeeding thought it was appropriate to bar breastfeeding mums and babies from the conference.
"I'm pleased that the decision has been overturned because it made no sense at all and I trust that any breastfeeding babies who turn up will be more than welcome to be in the main auditorium."
