We went to F.A.O. Schwartz today because Cassie's grandma wanted to get her some blocks (what a nice lady, huh?). I always picture that store being a madhouse, but it was totally calm today. Then I realized I have only gone during the holiday rush. Now I think I might actually take Cassie back to play some more!
They have a changing room in the lower level baby toy section, which made me think about the coming cold months and how life is so much harder when you have to feed and change a baby indoors instead of at the nearest plot of grass. Hmm. Here is my list of diaper changing spots and quiet, nursing friendly areas in Manhattan:
1. Baby's R Us - Union Square area - On the second floor there is a "Mother's Room" with glider rockers, couches, and changing tables. The bathrooms also have changing tables.
2. Le Pain Quotidien - Bryant Park area - The bathroom has a changing table and the coffee area provides some space with reasonable quiet.
3. F.A.O. Schwartz - Midtown area - The lower level has a diaper changing section with changing pads and complimentary wipes. There is also a chair for nursing.
4. American Museum of Natural History - Upper West Side - has changing tables in both men's and women's rooms. You can access them without paying admission. I'm guessing the Children's Museum would be another good option to try.
Does anyone know of any other good places for breastfeeding and diaper changing in Manhattan?
