Photo: File / Getty ImagesA mother of two was left "shocked" after she was told by a Blenheim lifeguard to move while breastfeeding her child on the side of a pool. The woman told the Herald the lifeguard's reason for her to move was to make sure breast milk didn't get into the pool. "Breastfeeding women leak anyway whether or not I'm feeding my baby, I am probably leaking breast milk into the pool anyhow." Taylor said a chair was offered to the mother to sit on beside the pool while breastfeeding.
