It would be nice if public places could have a quiet corner for tired moms
and fussy babies to go and nurse and not have to worry about being discrete
even if the mom was shy.  Like a big recliner or a rocking chair, a
footrest, and a lovely lattice-screen.

It would also be nice if Wal-Mart and other establishments would have a big
sign that said "Breastfeeding mothers and children are welcome in our store.
Please feel free to breastfeed wherever you like.  If you would like a quiet
corner with a comfortable chair, you can find one at the end of Aisle 8" (or
whatever).
