Newcastle mam furious after being told to breastfeed near drain in swimming pool or go into cubicle

Rachel McCarey claims she experienced breastfeeding discrimination whilst feeding her one-year-old daughter Annie in the pool at Haven Point Leisure Centre in South Shields.

The 39-year-old, who lives in Newcastle, said she was first approached by a staff member while feeding Annie in the swimming pool in November last year. She said she was asked to move to the side in case her baby was sick.
