Breast-feeding mother 'told to leave council headquarters because she would offend Muslim visitors'

Council says it has no obligation to provide facilities but then makes embarrassing U-turn

(By Jaya Narain, UK Mail Online) - A mother was ordered not to breastfeed her baby in public because she was in a ‘multicultural building’.

Emma Mitchell, 32, was about to feed 19-week-old son Aaron when a receptionist at a town hall warned her to stop.

Last night Mrs Mitchell condemned council staff, saying it was time people recognised the law which allows nursing mothers to breastfeed in public.
