Well, folks, I wrote them a letter after reading all that nonsense about
interrupting a mother feeding her baby (at breast of course) and being
asked to do so behind a curtain and then being asked if she was "decent
yet."  Told them (among other things) that until I heard they were no
longer interfering with a mother breastfeeding her baby, I would cease
recommending mothers shop there for clothes, baby equipment, and/or
pcitures.

Today, I received the standard old form letter "explaining'" their policy,
which includes a statment, "If the mother *requests*, we will offer a
separate room for her to breast feed."  Well!!!

Since it was a standard form letter, I fired back another reply reiterating
that their form letter in no way reassured me that the same behavior would
not occur again because that behavior did NOT reflect their current
practice!

I will let you know if they get back to me again with something a little
more enlightening...(I am not holding my breath lest I turn blue and keel
over the middle of my thriving garden--ate fresh beets and tomatoes from
same tonight).
