One of the more interesting aspects of every big store or location we've been to so far is the "baby room". I have seen them in every 'mall' setting and also at the Haneda airport. This is a room with, at the least, a changing table and a semi-private room for nursing. In the bigger stores, they have scales and measuring tapes near the changing tables. Often there are benches that are used while waiting for a room, dads waiting for moms or bottle feeding.
The nursing rooms vary from mini-cubicles without doors to curtained shower stall looking things. They always have a table or something and a little chair that is the perfect height for mom to sit in and nurse without a stool.
While this means I assume it's not ok to just latch her on wherever, it's kind of nice to have the bit of privacy, away from stray glances - not that they bother me anymore, but I know it often means others are bothered and, while it's none of their business, I hate making others uncomfortable. It can be semi-inconvenient to have to track down the rooms when RC's fussy and wants her milk, it's nice to be able to close the curtain and block out the distractions that make it take forever when we're out.
Oh, and thanks to yesterday's baby room, I found out that Ryanne is about 9.5kg with her clothes (no wonder the L 9-11kg diapers seemed too big) and about 75cm long with her shoes.
