Breastfeeding in WDW About This Page:

[momto2girls]

I will be taking my 6 month old daughter with me on our next trip. I seem to remember that WDW has a nursing room? Is this correct? Thanks! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yes. We have been 3 times now with a nursing baby, and I have used the baby care centers tons. There is one in each park. Just check the map. They are very clean, and the cm's who work there are very friendly and helpful. There is a place to nurse, a place to change diapers, and even a place for dad and any other little ones to hang out and play or watch videos. There's also facilities for warming bottles or mixing cereal or formula or whatever. They even had little plastic spoons, styrofoam bowls, and high chairs if you need to feed baby some solid foods too. I always get spoiled at wdw and wish the mall or anyplace else I go had such accomodations for moms and babies.

I've only used the baby care centers a couple of times. Depends on how comfy you are with public breatfeeding. I was fine. I used a very lightweight blanket to cover, and if possible, found longish, dark rides/ attrations to do it in/on. I've breat fed on The People Mover, Carousel of progress, Pirates, Small World, Hall of Presidents, and other such things.
Also, just on a bench a little out of the way.

Thanks ladies! Sounds great! I don't mind BFing in public but thought the rest may be nice at a station. LOL

The baby care centers are wonderful! But as others have posted, discreet public nursing is also easy to do.

There were many times when my little one was hungry and we were nowhere near the baby care center, so I just found a shady bench, used a light blanket and fed the baby.

Have a super trip!

PS I just realized that this will be our first trip with no nursing. Just have to remember a sippy cup this time.

I agree. We were lucky at Disney, I was toward the end of nursing (my son was 15 months), so the babycare was fine. But, I have nursed in public (covered up with a blanket in a low traffic area) at the zoo, aquarium-- you name it. I refused to nurse in a bathroom stall. If you can't get to the center, I wouldn't worry about it--- but that's me. But if you can, the centers are so nice, quiet and relaxing (and clean!!)

Hey - this will be my first trip as well to not be breastfeeding!!

I too have nursed two boys - two seperate trips - all over Disney. You will have no problem and I do occasionally see other nursing moms. Yes, nursing in the rides is probably my favorite - comfortable and dark and the babies go to sleep!!!! LOL! You do not know how many times I got off a ride with a limp, sleeping baby!!

I too love the babycare centers - perfect place to get inside and it's nice and quiet in there - lots of room for diaper changes and the babies can get down a little and crawl or walk or whatever. Very nice extra! I just wish there were MORE of them - because it seems like when I needed one they were nowhere close by!! LOL!

As a I.B.C.L.C. lactation consultant and a lover of Disney it is so good to hear that Disney has good breastfeeding facilties, so that babies are not forced to eat in the bathroom. I know I would not enjoy eating a meal in the bathroom.
