Mum vows to never go back to Asda after 'disgusting' breastfeeding experience

A mum has vowed never to go back to Asda after a "disgusting" breastfeeding experience left her shaking with anger.

Gemma Balmbra was left horrified after staff at an Asda superstore in Straiton, near Edinburgh, on Monday told her to "cover up" while breastfeeding. The stressed-out mum said both her five-year-old son and six-week-old baby had become unsettled as she arrived at the checkout, Edinburgh Live reports.

However, as she began to unpack the shopping she was shocked at the "rude" treatment from the female checkout worker. The 26-year-old mum-of-two explained how the staff member made her "feel awkward" and was made to feel like an "inconvenience".
