"I put a video on Facebook yesterday to promote the campaign because I think it's so sad that mums don't feel like they can breast-feed when they're out and about.
"I'm 100% behind the campaign and the fact that people feel comfortable enough to do this in my cafe makes everything I'm doing worthwhile.
"I think it's wonderful that the community has got together to back this cause and I just want to thank everyone who has supported us."

"It would be fantastic to win but it's not about the awards - they're just a bonus," Kellie added.
"The important thing is getting the word out to people that it's OK to breast-feed in public."
