Breastfeeding mum furious after being told 'go in a cubicle' by swimming pool staff

Rachel McCarey, 39, was shocked when staff confronted her while she fed her one-year-old girl Annie in the pool at Haven Point Leisure Centre in South Shields.

This is the second time she's been told to not feed her baby in the water as she had a similar experience in November.
