A mother was ordered to stop breastfeeding her baby next to a swimming pool because of rules banning "food and drink" in the area.
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 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.
