Yummy Mummies star Jane Scandizzo wants Australia to know one thing – she doesn’t agree with co-star Maria DiGeronimo’s views on breastfeeding in public.
Maria sparked controversy – and calls to ban the show – before the Channel Seven reality series even aired when promos surfaced of her saying breastfeeding in public was, for her, “illegal”.
However, Jane wants to make it clear her views do not represent that of herself or fellow mums Lorinska Merrington and Rachel Watts, telling YahooBe the comments were “sad”.

Oh great I'm glad she feels it's so sacred that she won't BF in public, so when the Bub comes nobody will have to see her for at least 6weeks then! Or longer, because so sacred. She will be missed.
I breastfed both of my children and I couldn't do it in public. For me personally, I preferred to be discreet. I wish I had the guts to breastfeed in public like so many other women do (it would have been so much easier for me!!) but I just couldn't. I tried a couple of times, but just felt like the whole world was staring at me and my baby so chose not to. I would just get comfortable in parent's room or if I had to in my car and feed. Everyone has the right to do what makes them feel comfortable so I guess I can understand where she comes from - maybe she just chose the wrong words to express how she feels about it all, or maybe she is back-peddling because there was such a negative reaction to her comments and she genuinely doesn't like women feeding in public. Who knows with these sorts of shows...
