Breastfeeding

If you are a nursing mother, the thought of nursing your baby at Disneyland may give you pause. But there are numerous places to nurse at The Happiest Place on Earth.

The best place to nurse at Disneyland is the Baby Center, located on the east side of Main Street U.S.A. It is a clean, quiet, private place where you and baby can nurse in a comfy rocking chair. Find out more about the Baby Center on its page on this site.

There are a number of places throughout Disneyland to peacefully nurse baby (as is your right)--some of which don't even require your family to slow down their day. The spots below are best on days when the park is NOT crowded.

•The Disneyland Railroad
This is a great place to nurse your baby. This attraction makes a full circle around the Magic Kingdom. The line is rarely long and once your on, you'll have a good 20-30 minutes to nurse your little one. The Disneyland Railroad has stops at Main Street U.S.A., New Orleans Square, Mickey’s Toontown, and Tomorrowland, so you're never too far from a train station and enough time to nurse and take a break.

•“it's a small world”
This attraction, located in Fantasyland, takes about 15-20 minutes from the time you board the attraction to the time you disembark. If your baby is a fast nurser, you will be able to pacify a hungry little one.

  •  The benches outside the Baby Center
The one problem with the Baby Center is that you cannot bring your other children inside behind the partition with you while nursing. If you are a mom with an annual pass and there without the hubby or other adult, you can't very well leave your kids running around outside. The benches outside the Baby Center are out of the way of high foot traffic.

•Hungry Bear Restaurant

The Hungry Bear Restaurant, located in Critter Country, is

virtually empty during slower days and if you go downstairs toward the back, your other children can feed the ducks in a very peaceful setting while you nurse. (Don't forget to bring some old bread from home!)

•The benches along Big Thunder Trail

While there are benches where you can stop and nurse

throughout the park, Big Thunder Trail (the path from Frontierland to Fantasyland next to and behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad), is lightly traveled, not to mention very pretty and peaceful. It is a great place to stop with baby. Moreover, your children might just get lucky, as the characters have been known to hang out along the trail.

*It is important to note that you want to try to get a bench furthest away from the "smoking area."

•The Enchanted Tiki Room
Located at the entrance of Adventureland, the Enchanted Tiki Room is a Disneyland classic. Most children love the singing birds and flowers. The thunder during the show may scare some little ones, although it's worth trying out, as its approximately 20 minute show can provide a much needed break and a chance to feed baby.
