Cafe boss defends telling new mum off for breastfeeding

A cafe boss has defended telling a new mum to be 'more discreet' when breastfeeding that prompted her to storm out - blaming it on customers who had complained. Molly Musto visited Gallagher's of Barnsley with fiancé Thomas Veale and seven-week-old Bobby Musto-Veale.

The mum-of-one claims that as she pushed the pram through the door, the female co-owner approached them and told her she was fine to breastfeed but had to be more discreet 'like other mums'. The 22-year-old said the confrontation ended with her declaring that if Molly 'adhered' to this she could stay.

The self-employed rabbit bonder refused, turned on her heels and walked out following the encounter that left the pair, including 6ft 6in trainee teacher Thomas 'shaken'. A sweet snap documenting Molly's first time breastfeeding in public at the cafe shows the beaming new mum holding the newborn infant to her chest around a month earlier when Bobby was just two days old.
