A mum whose son was left "screaming in pain" after suffering a blockage in his bowel said she was "humiliated" by a doctor for not breastfeeding her child. Despite spending three "traumatising" weeks in hospital, Seimone Burgoyne said she and her boy Rossa were still left searching for answers about his health.
The parent has raised a number of concerns about the care her child received - and claims one doctor asked her questions which were not appropriate. Speaking to Belfast Live, Seimone said: "After Rossa had been admitted we had been speaking with a number of doctors and nurses about what needed to be done to help him.
"At one point, a doctor entered the room and immediately started to ask me questions about whether or not I had breast fed Rossa, and when I told him that I hadn't, he started to say that was the reason that he was now suffering with this painful bowel problem. I was appalled by the way I was spoken to and it felt like I was being shamed and humiliated for how I raised my children when I have done nothing wrong.
