She wrote: “I go with a group of friends and our babies to a café each week. Apparently, the week before last, the café manager had a go at one of the mums because she said that her baby made a mess under his high chair and she didn’t clean it up before she left.
“This week, as I was packing up to leave – with a screaming overtired baby who is refusing to nap because of teething – she gave me a dustpan and brush and pointed at the few bits of food under her high chair and asked me to clean up after myself. It’s advertised as a very family-friendly cafe.
“Is it unreasonable to ask a parent to clean the floor after their baby? I’m torn because on the one side, I can see how it would be annoying for the staff.

“On the other hand, I don’t bring cleaning materials with me and it’s advertised as family-friendly which I would think would mean they’re aware that babies make mess!”
Not everyone was so sympathetic.
One user posted: “I’d say food on the floor is beyond the realms of normal mess and I’d expect to be asked to clean it up. People are absolute rotters in cafes and restaurants.”
Another said: “When my son was at that stage of dropping things from a high chair, I would ask for a dustpan and brush or use wipes to tidy up. It’s just polite to the staff.”

A third said: “If they offer you the dustpan and brush and your baby made the mess with food, I would clean it up before I left.
“Surely you sweep it up whilst your baby is still in highchair? It would take one minute to do it.”
While a fourth said: “You should have cleared up after your baby. I’m shocked at how often I see people walking out and leaving a mess all over the floor.
“If an adult dropped food they’d pick it up. So you should do that for your baby, too.”

I was left horrified after my baby son was misdiagnosed – I started planning his funeral
A MUM has revealed that she got as far a planning her baby’s funeral after a horrifying misdiagnosis landed him in A&E.

Tara had first taken the young boy to the doctor the day before after she noticed he “sounded a bit chesty”.
The GP reportedly gave her some saline drops and told her it would clear up, only for Albie to end up in hospital that night.
She told Kent Live: “I saw doctors at half past four in the afternoon and by half past 11 the following morning I’m at Pembury Hospital A&E because he’s purple and going blue around the mouth.
“His oxygen levels were dangerously low and he was put straight onto oxygen.

“Within 10 minutes of being at the hospital he’s admitted to a ward. They checked his chest and he had a crackle on his chest.
“It turned out he had bronchitis.”
Tara was apparently told to “prepare herself” for him to be intubated and hooked up to life support machines, which left her “arranging [Albie’s] funeral”.
The distraught mum described the ordeal as “heartbreaking” and “traumatic” and thanked her friends and family for supporting her through it, including her best friend who stayed with her the whole time.

She added: “It was bad enough after his birth, I was diagnosed with post-natal depression so to have to deal with that on top.
“I’m terrified to go to sleep at night now. I have nightmares seeing him hooked up to all these machines.
“Just the fact of not knowing whether my son was going to die. It was absolutely heart-wrenching.”
Her two other children, aged six and 10, had to stay with their grandad and missed out on half-term plans.
Tara said that it had “really affected” the children, one of whom has autism and ADHD, adding: “They cried every night I was in hospital when they thought their brother was going to die.”
Thankfully, Albie has now made a “big turnaround with antibiotics” and is getting better.
His mum praised the doctors for their hard work, saying: “I owe the hospital my son’s life. I cannot fault the doctors and the nurses at that hospital.
“They did an amazing job in getting my son well again.”
However, she has written a letter of complaint to the GP surgery, which she says is yet to provide a response.
She said: “If it was a first-time mum who doesn’t know what sort of signs to look for they could end up waking up to a dead baby. It’s just horrendous.”

A spokesperson for the practice told Kent Live that they could not comment on the matter due to its duty of confidentiality, but added they were sorry to hear about the complaints raised.
They also reportedly pointed to the practice’s complaints procedure.
