For me to have to go off to a bathroom is first of all not practical. I'd be leaving a bunch of little children without a watchful eye. Also, most bathrooms in restaurants don't have a lounge type area in them so what...sit on the toilet to feed a baby? Another thing, would you like to carry your meal into that bathroom to eat? How about just spend time hanging out in there? Even clean bathrooms are germy places. TO expect someone to eat or hang out in a place where someone next to you is going to the bathroom...ewwww. I notice an apology was issued which is great but I just wonder how this ever slipped through the editing process in the first place.

( Phew!) And good on BHG for being big enough to admit their error and strive to make good. It's a relief to have common sense prevail and bring breastfeeding <strong>back</strong> into the 21st century! Thanks. Thanks Joanna for both the apology and the amendment to the article. ( Phew!)
