I have been interested to see several suggestions for naming this which
included the word 'lactation'.  Now, I left the country of my birth (USA)
almost 20 years ago, so I don't claim to reliabley speak the language like a
native any more, but I know *I* did not really know what lactation meant
until I had already been working as a breastfeeding supporter for some years
and started reading the *heavier* literature.  It certainly is not a word in
common usage here in the UK.  I probably would have figured it out if I had
needed to, adn if I had seen it when I was breastfeeding myself, but surely
what you want is a name which tells everyone (including the woman who did
not finish high school) what it is, right up front.  Using lactation might
not do that.

(I know that this is bad news for LCs, who have lactation in their name.)

I also want to point out that the women are presumably going into the room
to breastfeed, whereas breastfeeding women are lactating all the time.
Unless its a bit like one of those menstruation huts some peoples have,
where you go in as soon as you start the physiological process and come out
when finished?  (In which case, better lay on room service.)
