A huge part of me says good on her, to be honest missionaries we have had here are the least likely to feel uncomfortable when I was newly nursing it was the missionaries who encouraged me not to go in another room like they said their Mom did it and its wasn't something that bothered them, I think its sad that a woman in a Burkha in a Muslim country will not think twice about nursing where she is in public, and that in a church that is supposed to encourage families we are discouraged from doing something that is best for our children. Especially as Mary would probably have nursed Jesus in public without thinking twice or anything was wrong with it right up until the grand old age of 3 or 4 , if he had children they would have been. The WHO recommend that we breastfeed for at least 2 years, In the Scotland it is now illegal to stop a Mother nursing in a restaurant etc and like my husband said intially he was a bit awkward now its normal,

My experience with Mother's Lounge;'s when I have travelled is they have been irreverant and the changing area stank, I refuse to breastfeed a baby anywhere where there is excrement - I wouldn't eat or drink sitting on the toilet why should they have to.

I remember a thread about this I had posted intially, when someone had said about men getting turned on, my husband was his usual self and commented maybe there should be also be a room for the man who can't cope,
