have sitting areas for breastfeeding in public places.

Created by A.M. on December 01, 2012

having a sitting area such as a couch or bench in bathrooms or secluded areas for breastfeeding adequatly and with ease. Some mothers are new to breastfeeding in public, dont feel comfortable or want a more quiet place to do so. also i feel that if we had such areas possibly the breastfeeding rate might go up in america due to mommies being able to be apart of social gatherings and not feel distressed or uneasy about feeding their baby in public. it is the right we have as mommies to feed our babies from ourselfs but some people are uncomfortable watching, they do not agree, some make rude comments,and make it hard for mothers to want to breastfeed in public.having these sitting areas will keep the stress off new or uncomfortable mommies so that they can do what they feel is best for baby
