Is it reasonable to breastfeed in the baby changing room?

I was out for lunch yesterday and there was a huge queue of people outside the changing room, my brother being one of them. A lady was breastfeeding in there which I thought was fair enough, maybe she's shy. But she was in there for 45 minutes and it was the only changing room in the restaurant and the smell of pooey nappies was beginning to waft!
What do you think? I know the baby had to be fed, but there also wasn't any other places to change any of the other babies. There was no chair in there so she must of been awfully uncomfortable standing or sitting on the floor.
Do you think places should have a changing table in the main toilets as well to avoid queues? Or would people find that gross?

Ugh, the pair of them sound awful. She looked embarrassed when she came out - what did she expect?! Fucking ridiculous.

If have asked for staff assistance too. If your brother can change his baby in the car (which I've had to do and it's really, really awkward) then she could've fed her baby in her car. Much easier to feed a baby in a car than change one.

YABU!

I think you did, Primal. Easy done.

Ah yes. Damn MN and it's lack of quoting features.

In that case, she was unreasonable.
