Wellington City Council is moving its massage room elsewhere following outrage the rubdowns were happening at the expense of a dedicated parents' room.
The thinking was that any mum needing to breastfeed or express milk could use the first aid room instead.
"I'm just hoping we don't get into a situation where there is someone unwell in this room and then a mum needing to use it. Probably best for any mum to first check if the parents room is available, I can't remember exactly how many days a week it is out of action with the massages", Community Services manager Jenny Rains wrote in an email.
