WOMEN angry at the treatment of a breastfeeding mother have staged a protest in the city.

Charlotte Murray, 24, of The Wells Road, St Ann's, was asked to move to a private room by a security guard when she fed her seven-week old son Duncan at the Angel Row library.

She was joined by new mums outside the library yesterday. Suzanne Elliott, 38, from Sherwood, was at the protest with her eight month old daughter Emmi-Jean.

She said: "It's important to support women who are breastfeeding – it's an entirely normal thing to do."

The city council has said it is investigating the incident and that it supports breastfeeding.
