what do you think about a nurse breastfeeding her infant at the l&d nurse's station during a break?

A friend of mine and I had an agreement when our babies were little that if one baby were at the other's house and needed to eat, we'd nurse them ourselves. I would not have this agreement with anyone and everyone but between good friends and/or family, I don't see anything wrong with it. My stepfather was nursed by a wet nurse for almost a year.

I am all for a mothers right to BF in public; heck, in California you can get in trouble for asking a breastfeeding mom to leave...my question is..why does she need to breastfeed at the nurses station? There has got to be another place for her to do this
