Trafford Centre & Brent Cross Shopping Centre

[Pyrrhic]

Can someone tell me if either of these shopping centres have BFing friendly facilities? I know they are BFing friendly, I just need to know what facilities they have. Thanks

I live just around the corner from the Trafford Centre and went there a few weeks ago with Harry - I just went in John Lewis who have a baby changing room with a couple of chairs so fed him in there. I'm pretty sure that the Trafford Centre itself has lots of baby changing rooms also though.

Am I right in thinking that the John Lewis has a specific changing room with seats and curtains and changing tables? Thanks

The Trafford Centre has a few breastfeeding rooms and the John Lewis there has a "corner" in the baby change room (the one that's downstairs between stationary and kids depts). Boots have a feeding/changing room too.


Maybe we can meet for a hot choc if you're coming to visit

I'm sure someone mentioned Brent Cross on here recently......

Oh forgot to say that the seats are normal chairs, not comfy glider chairs or anything, no curtains but yep baby changing is in the same room, the feeding bit is sort of semi divided with a bit of a wall

I know the new Westcross one in Shepherds bush has good facilities. At least it did when I went. Didn't really answer the original question tho sorry xXx

 

[Pyrrhic]

No, it helps lots! Thanks. What sort of facilities does it have Nikkinoonoo?

 

[Mervs Mum]

Ahhhh...I know what you're up to!

Mothercare World at Crown Point Shopping Centre, Leeds has a large changing room with seats for nursing - not private but not bad.

It had a large changing room with food/bottle warming facilities, soft play area with wall mounted tv showing cartoons and then seperate smaller 'cupboard' type rooms (but nice) with a soft seat and lockable door. They wasn't like cupboards proper but I don't know how else to describe them.
I did go when it first opened I hope its still as lovely and clean as it once was xXx

I think 'cubicle' was the word I wanted lol (blonde moment) xXx

I think the feeding facilities at the Trafford Centre are pretty good although like Hevz said, there are no curtains or anything, which doesn't bother me at all now, but maybe inthe early days (when I didn't really know what I was doing ) they would have been handy.
