MPs will be free to breastfeed in the Commons chamber after they were given the green light by the Speaker.
Lindsay Hoyle backed the move after speaking to new Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones, who shared a breastfeeding snap on Twitter this week.
He said: “I haven’t got a view, there isn’t a policy. My view is it is up to a mother.
"I think it would be wrong of me as a male to dictate on that policy. If it happens it happens. I won’t be upset by it - put it that way.”
It comes 20 years after ex-Speaker Baroness Boothroyd ruled breastfeeding was not allowed in the chamber.
An independent review in 2016 recommended that breastfeeding should be permitted in the chamber, with MPs with children having to sit for hours listening for a debate.
Equal rights campaigners have called for breastfeeding in the Commons to tackle any taboo and to allow women MPs more flexibility with their work.
Labour MP Harriet Harman, who ran against Sir Lindsay, was one of the first MPs to breastfeed her child in the Commons in the 1980s.
It comes a day after a Welsh Labour MP praised the "overwhelming response" she received after she posted a picture of her breastfeeding her son online.
The newly-elected MP told the Mirror: "I did go back and forth about posting the picture, but I am not ashamed of feeding my son and why should I be?"
She added: "I went to see the Speaker Lindsay Hoyle and it turns out there isn't a ruling on if women can breastfeed in the chamber of the House of Commons.
"There was a committee set up by John Bercow about making the place more family friendly, but they never decided on breastfeeding.
"So I asked what would happen if I did breastfeed in the chamber and the Speaker said he didn't know."
