My husband, aquatics coordinator at Texas A & M, came home from a
conference in San Antonio Tuesday night. He gave me a map of Sea World
(he toured the water park) and knew I'd be interested because the map
denotes "nursing facilities" with a bottle. Under the "Information"
Heading is the following:
(Picture of a Diaper) Diaper Changing Facilities - Adjacent to most
restrooms. Diapers are available in Main Mast Gifts.
(Picture of a Bottle) Nursing Mothers Facilities - Special rooms inside
some diaper-changing facilities.

I know most of you will agree that 1. Use of the bottle as a sign is
unappropriat and 2. Why would I want to nurse my baby in a bathroom?
Some "nursing lounges" are quite nice, but I doubt this is what is
available. (I haven't seen them, though.) I'd much rather nurse outside
on a comfortable bench with a view (but maybe that's what they are
trying to avoid?)

I'm going to draft a letter. Maybe others could as well?
