[This item is from Canada, but I thought it was a great example of how to
recognize breastfeeding friendly spaces, and promote breastfeeding in
public, without having isolated, single-purpose "breastfeeding rooms"   This
is on a University campus.

The Sudbury & District Health Unit has announced the  Laurentian Association
of Mature and Part-Time Students (LAMPS) Room A-127 as the newest official
"Breastfeeding Friendly" space within the Sudbury & Manitoulin Districts.

 

LAMPS is helping to make students with young children more comfortable in
their establishment by recognizing a woman's right to breastfeed anytime,
anywhere.

"Breastfeeding mothers are telling us that they feel there is no reason to
hide breastfeeding from the rest of the world. They report that while some
places are very supportive of breastfeeding families, others are less
accommodating."

 

The health unit's Breastfeeding Friendly Spaces initiative recognizes
establishments that support a woman's right to breastfeed a child in public
areas.

 

These include educational institutions, hospitals and health services,
recreational centres, malls, parks, public transit, stores, and restaurants.
