I agree with you there, but only when necessary. Completely cutting the mother off from the outside world for 6 months is not necessary. In essence you are saying that a woman cannot leave her home for 6 months, unless she knows that where she is going has a designated breastfeeding area. Most rural areas do not have shopping malls or large enough restaurants for that. In fact, for the first 6 months of my daughter's life we lived in a small town that didn't even have changing tables in any of the restaurant washrooms.
