Mum forced to breastfeed standing up on a train as no one offers her a seat
A mother of three has shared a breastfeeding selfie to Facebook after she was forced to feed her child standing on a packed train because no one offered her a seat.
Bryony Esther was commuting in Essex, northeast of London, on Saturday when her daughter needed to eat, but said the "lovely bunch of charmers" on the train remained seated.
The mother said the other passengers gave "more priority to their suitcases and rolling joints."
"It stinks! Plus the cyclist with a fancy bike that keeps rolling into me, sat in the disabled seat," she wrote to her Facebook page on Saturdy alongside the selfie.

The mother said she eventually asked one passenger if she could sit on the seat his suitcase was blocking, but was "ignored completely."
"The suitcase was being used as a surface to roll their joints. Then they stared at me for ages!" she wrote.
Ms Esther encouraged others to share her social media post to show the passengers' "mothers, girlfriends and wives how they behave."
The post has since been shared more than 36,000 times.
