Another day, another mum made to feel she’s boobed for breastfeeding in public.
As any new mum will tell you, when your baby needs feeding, they NEED FEEDING. And if you happen to be having lunch in a restaurant then so be it.
So when Carla Francome’s baby son started grizzling that he was hungry as she dined in a popular pizza chain she thought nothing of lifting her T-Shirt to breastfeed him. That was until she was “reprimanded” for doing so.
The freelance TV producer was feeding six-month-old Archie at La Porchetta in Islington, London when a waiter told her to “fully” cover up or go into a back room.
And the 37-year-old, from Archway, says she was so “mortified” she burst into tears in the middle of the restaurant.

A spokeswoman for the chain has since “apologised unreservedly” for the incident.
“I am really disappointed, it is absolutely not our policy. It is very unfortunate,” the spokeswoman told Islington Tribune.
“We can only apologise to this lady. The manager will be disciplined.”
