TX.
PS
Human waste is not "cleaned up" (you make it sound like the Dirty Protests of the 70's) - it will be in a nappy bin which just gets removed, no cleaning up there at all.

Why not?
Yes, it's not like they're eating out of the nappy bin / off the toilet seat is it (a toilet seat is actually cleaner than most peoples work desk of course). Whilst my "palatial" Changing Facility may be extreme so are the tiny ones posted above ... most will be somewhere in between so of adequate size for the task.

I think you have got confused. This isn't about exposing womens breasts, but about breastfeeding in public.
It has already been highlighted that you see very little, so what's the problem?
Again, there is no need to walk about naked in public, but a child NEEDS to be fed.

It's like a pack of lions toying with a gazelle 
I did click Option B ie somewhere private. IMHO a Changing Facility is OK.
TX.
PS
T*ts oot, topless bathing, get naked - natural progression of your liberal thinking surely?

Just good old SN at is best!
No hard feelings, I like a good banter. I understand that we all have different standard of hygiene. I wouldn't eat in, or if given the choice near the toilets when eating out. That's just me though.

I voted the last option. But then thinking about the world today and it's sometimes idiotic equality rules I dread to think of the unforseen consequences.
For example, some idiot gay (you know the one who HAS to tell you they are gay even though you could not give a $hit) decides if she's getting her ***** out then I will.......uuurrrrggghhhh!

And it still comes back to the point that it is a place where human waste is cleaned up - just like, err, what is it, oh yes. A toilet!!!

I am not sure if you have babies or have ever changed a nappy - but are you completely barking? How many restaurants have you been in where they have a baby changing room at all, never mind one of adequate size.

The pictures that I posted ARE the norm, the ones that you (TX) posted are very far from the norm.
Maybe the next time you go out, anywhere ask where the nearest baby changing facility is, they either won't have one, or it will be in the disabled toilets.
The only places that have an actual designated room JUST for changing nappies will probably be mothercare, and guess what.....?
They have a room JUST to go and feed your baby. NOT in the nappy changing room.

you are one strange guy, firstly the size of the turd is irrelevant, it is the fact that it is faecal matter that is the problem. secondly WHY should a baby have food in a room where sh1tty nappies are being changed, would you eat in that room? thirdly, you do not take sh1tty nappies and wipes around with you, you dispose of them in the changing room, Would you wipe your ****, and then carry the paper around? of course not, **** is ****.
Not sure why TX doesn't get it.

And of course human waste is cleaned up. You change a baby on a pull out table, therefore their waste is exposed quite probably to said table, then possibly onto the lid of the bin, then mam decides to sit down (assuming there is a chair) and places nastiness onto that too (not to mention the door). You, and people on this thread may be perfectly clean people but you cannot rely on every other member of the public being so as well.

I put a new meeting room which doubles as an Expressing Room into a new office facility at work recently - I kid you not. We spent ages going through design details and the privacy issues (window blinds, manifestation, locking door etc). It even has a worktop and fridge to store breast milk.
Now its built I'm told it's too big and will be booked for meetings too much so mothers will struggle to get it
What did these mothers do in the past?

I always had to use the staff room, but as 99% of the workforce were female, it wasn't really an issue.
As for this room being purpose built, simply lock it, and only open it for the desired purpose.
How big is it exactly?

I honestly cannot see why where should be any objection to breast feeding a baby anywhere in public. Ridiculous to try to ban them to the lavatories etc.
All those shouting about it are a bunch of fussy primpers, you can always avert your eyes if you don't want to see it anyway! Its bad manners to stare of course.

One time this block actually shifted his chair to get a better look... (as he was sat with his wife and 2 young children BTW)....
My wife was already "shielding" herself with a carefully positioned towel over her shoulder... it seamed that was more of a challenge for him...
