Private nursing lounges are a catch-22 situation for businesses, etc. I worked in the retail sector for years. Most of that was in kids and baby retail. To be a truly baby friendly store I feel you need a nice, clean nursing lounge. Unfortunatly due to law, I was unable to tell mothers about it. Even though my store had one. I could only offer it if asked. Stores want to please their customers but they also want to make money. It doesn't make economical sense for them to invest in the extra space in their stores that they could use for clothing, etc. if they can't tell mothers about that service.
I too think it should be private. It's my time to bond with my child in a way that only I can. They are only a baby for so long.
That's just my two cents on the issue....
