Netball: Mum at odds with officials

Australian netballer Janine Ilitch could be banned from the Commonwealth Games Village because she wants to express milk for her baby son.

Ilitch is under pressure to give up breastfeeding before the Games begin, even though her baby will not be in the village with her. She wants to feed baby Heath by using a breast pump throughout the 10-day tournament.

The Courier Mail newspaper yesterday reported team officials have voiced concerns to her but the mother-of-two said it was her right.
