Quote:Do you think that mothers would be comfortable breastfeeding in front of males?
(Playing Devil's Advocate)
Why would they? There's nothing sexual or taboo about breastfeeding - well, except perhaps the 'public nudity' taboo, which strikes me as fairly silly.
But, if a mother would be uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, she could always do it in privacy, or choose to use baby formula. setting aside a lounge for breastfeeding mothers seems a terrible waste of space to me.
Then again, I'm still boggled over the study lounge (a type of room I've always assumed was meant to be used by everyone) set aside for a minority group.
Mith: Is the 'normal' lounge offlimits to members of the 'exclusive' one? I would so appreciate the irony...
