Mothers have staged a mass "nurse-in" outside Claridge's hotel in Mayfair after a woman was told to cover up when breastfeeding her child.
Mother-of-three Louise Burns, 35, was asked to cover her baby's head with a napkin to avoid offending other customers in the restaurant.
Claridge's said later it "embraces" breastfeeding but asks that women are "discreet towards other guests".
The protest was organised by Free to Feed and involved around 40 mothers who sat outside the hotel's grand front doors and fed their infants.
They included Emiily Slough, 28, who founded Free to Feed after she was labelled a "tramp" on Facebook for breastfeeding in public.
She said: "I am here because someone broke the law by telling a woman to be unnecessarily discreet when she was breastfeeding in public.
"We are here to show Claridge's they are not above the law. But they have said nothing to us, they are pretending we're not here."
