'I was embarrassed and in tears': Male easyJet crew member orders mother to stop breastfeeding her one-year-old son during flight
36-year-old Kelly Edgson-Payne says most cabin crew encourage breastfeeding during take-off because it distracts the children and stops them from crying
A mother-of-four has slammed budget airline easyJet after a crew member allegedly approached her during her flight and told her she could not breastfeed her infant son Lex. 36-year-old Kelly Edgson-Payne was flying from London Gatwick to Fuerteventura with 40-year-old husband Ross when the interaction took place and had to wean Lex off mid-feed.
According to the Daily Mail, a male member of the cabin crew approached Kelly — who is the mother to nine-year-old Mia, five-year-old Elena, three-year-old Jax, and one-year-old Lex — and informed her that she could not breastfeed Lex during takeoff.
