girlfriend, sit down and bf your baby wherever you damn well please and if someone doesn't like it THEY can go sit in a GAP dressing room until you're finished. Good god. This is 2008! I can't get over how backward NYC is with regard to breastfeeding! [ Reply | More

Amen. Go wherever you are comfortable. If that means private then fine, but its also fine if you are out in the open. And its 2009, now! [ Reply | More

I have nursed in Central Park with a nursing cover and FAO Schwartz has a chair in bathroom that is separate to the toilet area where you can nurse (and lock the door if you want to). Manhattan is very short on god places to nurse. I'm from London and many large stores have parent rooms with clean and pleasant places to nurse. I miss that! [ Reply | More

Saks is another option on the 4th floor. I used to drop in there. Huge long couch completely apart from the toilet areas. And drinking fountain with cups. BFing makes me HUGELY thirsty. Also, try a quiet corner of the park with a BFing parka or cover. If it's nice out. You can watch the water or birds or animals while you sit. [ Reply | More
