The Massachusetts State House – Boston, MA

The Massachusetts State House – A reader writes: “The Massachusetts State House in Boston has a Mother’s Room on the 5th floor.  It’s primarily used by state employees for pumping, but is available to the public as well.  The room has an attached bathroom
and a comfortable chair and footstool.  It is kept locked, and the key is available from the Bureau of State Office Buildings on the first floor of the State House just inside the main entrance.”

Logan Airport – Boston, MA

Terminal B – The women’s rooms have a separate baby area with a bench for nursing and a changing table and an accordian-style pull-across door for privacy.

The airport also has a family room, which is a very open space. It has lots of rocking chairs, a place for toddlers to play, a kinetic scuplture to watch, and large windows looking out onto the tarmac. It may not be good for nursing a baby who needs quiet, but it’s a good place for little ones to run off some energy before a flight. It’s by the check-in counters, so it’s outside of security. It’s not actually a closed room, more of an alcove/lobby down a little hallway that has a half-height wall (the no-door thing can be a problem if you have an older child who’s prone to wandering).

Terminal C – The women’s room has an area similar to the one described above, though I didn’t notice a door.

Boston Museum of Science – A reader writes: “The Boston Museum of Science has a glider and a boppy in the infant room at the Discovery Center.  It’s not really private, but it’s contained and comfortable.  They advertise that the first aid room is available to for nursing moms who want more privacy, http://mos.org/discoverycenter/visiting-tips“
