Previously as long as either I or my wife were gold they let all three of us into the lounge but now it seems that is no longer allowed. Which defeats the point as we can hardly leave our three year old to get through the airport alone. It's a bit galling when I add up our total tier points as a trio and it's well over double the gold threshold...
no changes to Policy, always Gold +1 guest

The change here is your daughter is getting older

if they were letting in 2 guests. They were making an exception. Children under 2 do not need guesting. Possibly was easier for them to make the exception while your daughter was 2 but as she gets older they may be less willing to do so.
