Baby Friendly Restaurants and Places
posted by Mommy
Chhimi and I have made it a point to take baby Erik out to restaurants, at least once every two weeks, in hopes that he'll be okay with us going out to places. Of course, we also made sure that we had milk on hand in case Erik gets hungry while we feed and one of us (including Grandma Katy) are willing to hold and cuddle with Erik while the other(s) eat and then do the ole' switcheroo.
So below are a few local places that we found were quite Baby Friendly for other new parents looking to get out of the house. Of course, these are mostly chain restaurants :-)
We also tried a local Japanese restaurant and that was definitely NOT recommended. They weren't very fast with their service and didn't offer a high chair (we figured out that we can safely put the carseat in a high chair :-D instead of a regular chair). Even though there were kids there, it wasn't baby friendly since customers and staff looked at us funny when we got up to rock Erik to sleep.
Other Baby Friendly Shopping includes: Babies R' Us (This is a given!), Goore's (This is a given too!), IKEA, and Nordstrom's. I was very impressed with Nordstrom's Mommy's Room, it had a private area where I could breastfeed Erik and then change him without other people passing by. With IKEA, in their cafe area, they had Avent bottle warmers for customers to use, which was very handy for Erik's bottle!
We'll try to post more when we go out BUT for parents that are in our area and you know of baby friendly restaurants, PLEASE let us know!!
