Angry Mom Says She Was Told Not to Breastfeed Near Mall’s ‘High-End’ Shops

An Australian mom has taken to Instagram to share her recent negative experience while breastfeeding her son at a local mall.

According to ABC News, Shannon Laverty was visiting Gold Coast's Pacific Fair Shopping Centre on Saturday when she reportedly stopped to breastfeed her three-week-old, Shep.

"I sat down on the public lounge area in front of the concierge desk and when my son was latched on my breast, this woman came running over," explained Laverty to ABC News. The concierge staff member reportedly asked her, "Excuse me, you know there's a facility for that?'"
