Mum left 'humiliated' by breastfeeding ban (Leeds Today)

A MOTHER was forced to leave the family area of a health club's restaurant – for breastfeeding her baby son.

Lindsay Cooper was feeding 10-week-old Calum at Esporta in Cookridge yesterday when the manager told her she had to move to a different room.

The incident took place in full view of the restaurant and Mrs Cooper described the experience as 'humiliating' and 'upsetting'.
