Proposal

This proposal is to create a new tag to identify the availability or location of a nursing room.

Rationale

Nursing rooms are very important for mothers of infants, as many mothers, especially new ones, do not feel comfortable nursing in public. In many areas it's not socially acceptable to nurse in public. Currently there is no consensus on how to map nursing rooms. Currently people use either `description`, and there are a few people using the key `nursing_room=*`.

Examples

Example	Tagging
Nursing room with outside entrance	amenity=nursing_room nursing_room=1
Nursing room with indoor entrance	nursing_room=yes on the building/poi OR nursing_room=1 on the building/poi OR amenity=nursing_room at the precise location in the building, with nursing_room=1 and level=* (if necessary) (preferred)

Tagging

This section contains subtags for additional data about the rooms. Below there's a table describing each individual subkey.

Keys

Key	Values	Description
amenity	nursing_room	The position/entrance of a nursing room. Preferred, when possible.
nursing_room	yes no <positive number>	One or more nursing rooms are available. Nursing room is not available. You can ignore the whole key specification when this applies. Quantity of nursing rooms available.
