Centre City - New Plymouth ,
for their amazing new parents room. I used it the other night just been build and it was great to not have to revert to going to the car to Breast feed Rhyley. There is a tv (although Hairy maclary quite a few times over did its dash) microwave, two rooms for feeding if you perfer not to be seen both with comfortable arm chairs, and then another two comfortable arm chairs in main part, large changing area (which they provided a sink with soap right next to and also big rolls of paper if you didn't have a changing mat) and a toilet big enough to take in pushchair and a childs size toilet in there as well. I was very impressed to say the least.
When talking to the cleaning lady I found out something interesting - that she gets told to tell people not to breastfeed in the public eating place as it may offend people - she does not agree with this but that is what her boss tells her and she said girls go around half naked in some of the clothes they wear now-a-days and she gets told breastfeeding might offend someone......ugh????????

Oh, and as for the breastfeeding comment, I worked with a lady that thinks it is disgusting behaviour to breastfeed in public.
I think you might (might) remember the big hoopla about a woman who was sitting out in the main entrance room at the Womans Restrooms in town. She was breastfeeding her baby and a woman (NPDC staff) came out and told her to move into the "mothers room" she flatly refused. She never went back again till she had her second child a couple of years later and did the same thing and the same thing happened. It was in the paper.
Anyways...
Mary picked up the article in the middle to morning tea break and said out loud.
"That's disgusting!"
(general concur of agreement from the girls, disgusting treatment of women!)
"Why would you want to show your breasts to every woman in New Plymouth that walked into the Womans Restrooms? Is she stupid or couldn't she find the sign on the door of the mothers room?!"
(shocked silence then general then off the subject talk to try and ease the tension)
She was pretty stoked when she found out I couldn't breastfeed.
I think that it is discrimination and against human rights for companys to prejudice against women for feeding their kids naturally.
Ok! I'm done!

Well yea it's not exactly like we sit there "showing our breasts off to everyone". I think most of us do like to keep as much cover as possible..... <sigh> what do they think they were made for?!?
