This is the sort of project that lends itself very well to World
Breastfeeding Week.  Public health nurses approach local restaurants and
ask them to display a "You are Welcome to Breastfeed Here" decal (INFACT
makes these as well.)  Then this list is publicized during WBW.

Raises the question of whether or not breastfeeding is OK is places that
don't display the message.  Does it create an underlying impression that
women need 'permission' to breastfeed in public places.
