You probably don't need another reason to love Target. But you just got one: The retail giant recently announced that they're adding pumping and nursing rooms to their "next generation"… stores. True, nursing a baby in a store's dressing room is a fairly tried-and-true mom trick. But now, Target's new and newly remodeled stores will feature dedicated nursing rooms.
