Mum breastfeeds whilst driving

New Zealand mum spotted driving along and breastfeeding her baby at the same time, with three young kids in the back seat

Police are trying to track down a woman who shocked fellow drivers when she was spotted breastfeeding her baby whilst at the wheel of a moving car. There were even three other young children travelling in the back of the car at the time.

The woman has yet been identified but police do have the car's registration number from a tip-off, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. The Child, Youth and Family Service has also been notified.
