nyc: We are planning a 5 days trip to NYC in November, and we are taking our 3 month old baby. We would like to know what the best way to handle feedings and diaper changes while outside the hotel. We will be in the Manhattan area all the time. THANK YOU!|||If you are breast feeding you can nurse the baby almost anywhere. Just cover yourself with a nice large scarf or maybe one of those fake pashmina shawls ($5 from one of the st vendors) Most Starbucks and McDonalds do have public restrooms some even with the diaper changing stations. Make sure that you have a baby pack that your husband enjoys wearing so that he can carry the baby around. Sometimes navigating a stroller gets difficult. Don't forget to wear very comfortable shoes. Do purchase an all day Metro Pass for the buses and subways. Try taking the bus down fifth ave from around 59 st to the village (8th st) better than taking a tour bus with a blabby tour guide. Enjoy|||Great place to visit. NYC never slows down, so I would suggest that whenever you stop to use the water facilities and eat do the same for your baby. By now mom, you pretty much know your baby's inner clock so you will know when to stop and pay your baby a little more attention. Also, when your baby gets a little agitated or cries a little she/he will let you know it's time for something. Have fun, NYC rocks!|||New York is definitely kid friendly. Families visiting New York City have so many options for eating, it can be overwhelming. There's no reason to dine at a chain restaurant you can find at home when you're in New York City with so many great places that can easily accommodate children. Dim Sum and Pizza are great choices for families, but you can also try out any of these restaurants for a meal that will please parents and kids alike. And whenever you need a break you can go to Toys r us, any toy stores, or McDonald's, because they all have bathrooms w/changing tables and facilites. If you're looking for a hotel in New York near Manhattan you can go to Scoobit.com, the hotel search engine at http://www.scoobit.com Switch the language to English, then fill the form with New York, Manhattan and click on "Search hotel". We went to the hotel on the right in the second row: nice and clean place, loving it, but feel free to choose the hotel that best fits your needs. Scoobit.com is a safe website I've used many times so far, and you can book on line. Have a great time.|||If you are flying you can pack lightly. You can buy everything you need for baby just about anywhere here. From formula to diapers to wipes. There's a Duane Reade or major retail chains all over the city. If you are staying in NYC you will find that all the kid friendly places have bathrooms w/changing tables. Go to Toys r us, or any toy stores, kmart, McDonald's, etc. You will see alot of people w/strollers or baby carriers, both work. Just keep baby bundled up because it's cold in the winter here. Have fun & take lots of pics. Good luck!!!
