People send messages of support to mum told off by staff member for breastfeeding in Sainsbury's car park

Readers have spoken in support of a young mother who says she was told off for breastfeeding her baby in her car in a supermarket car park. Beth Coles, 25, says she was told off by a Sainsbury's employee for breastfeeding her four-week old daughter in the supermarket's car park.

She said she was covered up while feeding baby Rosie when a female staff member approached her, walking out of the store and towards Beth's car. Beth told The Mirror : "She knocked on the window, so I opened the door, moved the child. She said, 'can you stop that, please? It's inappropriate'.

"My reaction was to just burst out crying. I didn't know what to do. She just gave me a funny look and walked off, and I was like, 'oh, okay your goal was to make me cry'." Beth emailed Sainsbury's and says she was offered a £40 gift card and the promise that members of staff would be spoken to. You can read the full story here.
