Mystic Marinelife Aquarium – A reader writes: “I spotted a sign in the women’s bathroom stating that mothers looking for a quiet place to nurse should speak with a staff member.  I don’t know what sort of space would be offered, but at least something is available.  There are some benches inside the main building, but anyone looking for privacy would likely prefer to nurse elsewhere.”

IKEA – A reader writes: “The room is small, it has a chair in the very entrance directly pointing to the entrance, in fact,  it’s beside a place to wash your hands and another door that leads to a WC child size. And a baby changing table. The saddest thing is that… that is the ONLY changing table at IKEA, there aren’t any of those at the woman’s bathroom nor the men’s .”
