There was outrage in India after a shopping centre in the city of Kolkata told a mum wanting to breastfeed her baby not to do such “home chores” in the centre.

The comments were made on Facebook after the woman wrote a post on South City Mall’s page complaining that there was no designated feeding area.

The response angered many who said it amounted to shaming the new mother.

Women breastfeeding in public is a common sight in India.
