Warning- I know some of you will disagree with what I'm about to say. But these little "nursing pods" make me actually rather angry. Now don't get me wrong, it's a good idea in theory. Having more spaces for mothers to privately nurse/pump in public that promise to be clean and provide outlets and seats is a great thing. But I would not use this one. In the photos, you see narrow seats in a tiny pod with no windows or fans. To me this seems like another way of saying " If you want to nurse your baby you have to separate yourself from anything public." It seems to be saying, once again, that you need to hide to feed your baby. I cannot support this idea. If these places want to support nursing women, they won't alienate them by glaring at them when they are nursing in public. When they ask for a place to privately nurse, they should be provided one in an actual room (that's NOT the bathroom). I start to feel claustrophobic just looking at these little pods.
