A student mum said she was suspended from university after taking her newborn baby into lectures and seminars, despite claiming that she was previously told it would be allowed.
Leah Foster, 35, was studying psychology at the University of Derby when she was told she wouldn't be allowed on campus if she insisted on bringing her son, Emmet, into class with her. However, Mrs Foster, from Chesterfield, claims that she was previously told the opposite.
The University of Derby has said that it wouldn't exclude a student because they wish to continue to study while breastfeeding, such as in Mrs Foster's case. However, babies and children are not allowed into teaching sessions because they may distract other students, Derbyshire Live reports.
