Danish MP told baby 'not welcome' in parliament chamber
Ms Kjaersgaard then passed a message to an assistant, asking the MP to remove her baby."MPs should be in the chamber, not babies or children," Ms Kjaersgaard later told news agency Ritzau.
Denmark is among the most generous providers of parental leave in the world. New mothers are entitled to 18 weeks, with both parents entitled to a further 32 weeks which they can split between them as they please."A chamber that represents mothers, fathers and babies ought to be open to mothers, fathers and babies," one Facebook user said in a comment.This was not the first time that bringing a baby into the political sphere has made headlines.
