Sam Ross said staff told her she was breaking the law.
The mother of two, 30, had gone to see comedy Bad Neighbours at the Vue Cinema in Cambridge with a pal and little Ava.

"If she was screaming and interrupting everyone I would totally understand and would never stay in the cinema, but she was completely fine.
“There were only six other people in the whole room.”
Emilie Carrington, local Mums-net editor, said: “The cinema can be a great place for a new mother and a small baby.
“It can feel great to get out of the house and do something grown-up.

He said: “On this particular occasion the customer should have been advised that babies are not permitted into 15-certificate films and declined the sale.”
