A new mum claims she was told she was 'embarrassing' the players by breastfeeding at a cricket match - by a good friend who worked as a midwife. Leah Wong visited the cricket club to watch a match her partner was playing in.
The mum-of-one was sitting on a bench outside the changing rooms when her 16-week-old son Tristan Wong became restless so she started breastfeeding him. The PR manager said she was 'really upset' when a club member, who claimed to be a retired midwife, marched over to her and demanded she cover up or move to somewhere 'discreet'.
Outraged, Leah continued feeding her son until he was finished then told her partner, who doesn't wish to be named, what happened before leaving the ground. The 32-year-old submitted a complaint but says the club ruled it wasn't discrimination as she wasn't asked to leave the premises, only move, while the member refused to apologise.
