There's never a dull moment in the breastfeeding debate.

But when mother of two Regan Matthews was abused in a cafe for feeding her nine-month-old baby, she never expected to be caught in the middle of it.

"A waiter came over looking really embarrassed and he said, 'I'm really sorry to ask you this but my manager's asked that you stop breastfeeding.' I was totally shocked and I said to him, 'no. Can you go tell your manager that's illegal, I have the right to breastfeed anywhere'," Matthews said.
