Exclusive: A Victorian mother has told how she was not allowed to breastfeed her baby and made to feel like an "inconvenience" during a first aid course.

Geelong mum-of-two and personal trainer Felicity Ryan needed 20 minutes to feed her son during a day-long CPR training course last year and asked the facilitators to accommodate her request.

Ryan explained to 9news.com.au she was told to breastfeed during a 10-minute break outside of the room instead because no children were allowed inside.
