I think that breastfeeding should be done freely, gloriously, happily
and *not* hidden behind screens. Nevertheless, not everyone is capable,
yet, of doing this. (The more breastfeeding becomes public, however,
the sooner many women will be able to follow suit). So, just as in
shopping malls, there should be a place for private nursing, with the
very strong message (on a sign or something), that "Please feel free to
breastfeed your baby here. However, if you wish to have privacy,
screens will be provided".
