It is absolutely true that MB's origins are in the ejection of a breastfeeding mother from an event because she set up her own shade shelter and camp chair to have a comfortable place to feed her daughter, and that the primary thought driving MB's creation was to provide for nursing mothers.

But.

MB has evolved a bit.  It's for all small people who need a calm environment to eat, or who need a diaper change.  That has been clear at the events in which MB participates, when I approach all parents with infants and toddlers in strollers and slings and other baby carriers and invite them to use our facilities if they need them.  But it has been less clear on our website, which still displayed content from MB's inception, indicating that our primary concern was providing a place for nursing moms and babies.

MB is still *all about* breastfeeding, and you'll find that our Sponsors and the vendors in the web store all have a breastfeeding bias.  But we welcome all mothers who want to relax with their child in a relatively distraction-free and temperate environment to feed their babies, regardless of how or what they are fed.

So we've updated the the content of our homepage and our FAQ to try to to make clear that all moms and babies are welcome to use MB's booth at events.

You're at an event and it's hot and your baby is hungry?  Want shade and fans and a quiet space to snuggle and feed your child?  Does your child need a clean bottom?  Please come in and make yourself comfortable!
