Guest Author Lottie Ferguson is back with the Disney Gals this week for another great article. Welcome back Lottie!
Lately, there has been a lot of media attention over a
women’s right to breastfeed her baby anywhere she wants, with nurse-ins staged
at numerous businesses and government offices.
You will be happy to know that no one will complain and send you to the nearest
restroom (eww!) if you nurse your little one anywhere on Disney property!
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a great set of breasts, but I’m not game for sharing them with the world, whether I’m nursing or not. It’s just an issue of modesty for me. (For the same reason, you won’t find any photos of me nursing in this post.) There are tons of innovative covers and wraps for mothers to buy or make, and I suggest taking at least one with you if for nothing else but shielding your child from the sun, or for extra warmth inside chilly restaurants.
You can nurse anywhere on Disney property. It’s a great opportunity pay attention to all of the fabulous Disney details while nourishing your child. These are my favorite places because they are cool, comfortable, and convenient. If you are bottle feeding, these places will work very well for you, too!
All Parks: Baby Care Centers – I’m pretty sure I talk about these in every post that relates to small children. There is one in every park; I wish there were more! Find them on a map prior to arrival. They are one of the best kept secrets at Disney World. They are air conditioned, private nursing rooms here that are quiet and well kept. Problem is, most are near the entrance, and if you’ve ventured your way to the back of the park, it just isn’t convenient to make the trek all the way back to the front. However, if you are nearby, take advantage.
