A MUM was left shocked when she was "mum-shamed" at a baby group for drinking coffee.
Yvette explained that she'd been to the group when she'd had her daughter, but hadn't been with her newborn son.
So when she arrived, people were asking her how she was getting on as a mum-of-two and how the baby was getting on.
"Everyone was super lovely and welcoming and just like very kind," she said in a video on her TikTok page.
"I mentioned I really wanted a coffee, and one woman there in particular was like, 'Oh, so you're not breastfeeding?'"
When Yvette replied that she was, in fact, breastfeeding, the woman asked if she'd therefore be having decaf coffee.

"I'm not having decaf, I'm having proper coffee," Yvette replied.
"And she was just like so concerned by me having a coffee and said, 'Doesn't it affect your baby's sleep and stuff like that?'" she continued.
And when Yvette said that she "hadn't noticed" any caffeine impact on her baby, the woman once again said: "You're having a really weak one right?"
"She was just really, really, really concerned about me having a coffee," she added.

"I think if I had realised to start off with, I would have been a bit like, oh okay, no p**s off. But I was just kind of shocked by it anyway," Yvette concluded.
"But I had my coffee and she's an absolute k**b, so…"
