<< Am I the only one offended by Target's recommendation about customers being put in a dressing room to nurse? >> I would be offended if Target (or any place) was telling mothers that the dressing room is the ONLY place they may nurse. When my 20yr old daughter was less than 6 months old, I could nurse her any time, any place. She would fill up and fall asleep. It got harder somewhere around 6-8 months. She was easily distracted by noise and people and lights and anything else. She would get increasingly fussy and not nurse easily. I was often frustrated that I couldn't find a quiet place to block out the stimulatiion to help her settle down to feed. Now, if I took her into the bathroom to change a diaper and saw a sign saying I was welcome to calm her down in a dressing room, I would have felt grateful and very relieved. I don't think the sign is there as a mandate. I think it's a courtesy to customers. I choose to see it as a positive sign of meeting a mother's needs.
