Maybe New Orleans isn\u2019t quite like Walt Disney World when it comes to family friendly attractions. But you might be surprised how much the city has to offer those who can\u2019t yet belly up to the bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, a few things to know about <\/span>accommodations for mothers<\/b> at the conference hotels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Napoleon Office 1 <\/b>(sign up requested<\/a>)\u00a0a private room on the 3rd floor of the New Orleans Sheraton, will be a secure and quiet space for <\/span>mothers<\/span> to breastfeed or pump during ONA19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The space will be equipped with comfortable seating, power, towels, purified water and a small refrigerator to store expressed milk or bottles \u2014 as well as some other goodies to keep moms (and babies!) comfortable. The third floor has ample bathroom space to clean bottles, which can then be brought back into the room for drying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keys to access this space will be available at the Help area of the main registration desk on the 5th floor, and you can sign up in advance to reserve a time slot<\/a>. The room can accommodate one person at a tim<\/span>e and will be accessible from Thursday <\/span>morning to Saturday evening for registered attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n

This post will be updated with details on accommodations for breastfeeding mothers at the <\/span>InterContinental New Orleans.<\/span><\/p>\n
