Margery,
Could not resist this after reading your post on businesses with nursing mom's
lounges.  At Sesame Place, a popular toddler attraction in PA, USA, the
nursing area is a plastic chair in a tiny alcove of the ladies' room which is
curtained off with a plastic shower curtain.  This alcove is right next to the
trash can for the entire rest room, which is needless to say, full of throw
away diapers.  Yuck!  To add insult to injury, the symbol on the map for the
nursing area is (can you guess?) a bottle!  My friend (an RN) and I marched
her lactating sister to the first aid station, and requested the use of a more
sanitary environment.  Friend and I educated the staff about the health issues
involved in eating in a bathroom when one is an immunologically immature
infant while sis nursed there.  Have not been back to see if this had any
results.
