Laura Whotton, 26, was rebuked by a staff member at the John Carroll Leisure Centre in Nottingham when she tried to feed her 11-week-old son, Joshua.

Mrs Whotton, from the Carrington area of the city, said that she was trying to feed the boy while also keeping an eye on her four-year-old son, Thomas, who was swimming.
 
Nottingham City Council blamed "confusion" over the wording of the rules for the centre and has apologised to the young mother.

Mrs Whotton told the Nottingham Evening Post: "People in bikinis were showing more skin and breast than I was."

I guess it was a bit nippy for swimming.

They had a valid point. Rule are rules. Obviously she wasn't about to share with everyone...

At least the child was only 11 months not 11 years.
