What irks me is no one would dare consider asking a bottle feeding mom to feed their baby in a bathroom, but have no problem saying this to a nursing mom. I don't see anything wrong with nursing in public, I've done it before, in the park, in a museum, in a store. I found a comfy place to sit and nursed.
