Why not offer frazzled parents a place to hold and comfort their babies? Like a chair in every restroom. I'm talking about for the sake of sanity. Many times, just leaving a noisy space was enough to calm my son during a crying jag. I'd take him to the restroom, and the relative quiet had a silencing effect on him. If he needed to nurse, he had a much easier time when the room was hushed. My dear husband could've used a quiet place to sit during the times he was on comfort-the-crying-kid duty, too.Disclaimer: No, I'm not suggesting that breastfeeding, or feeding of any kind, be relegated to the toilet zone. I'm just saying that a break from the noise worked for us.
