I think you have some sort of confirmation bias happening. Because, every time I go to the airport, I see a lot more womens in yoga pants than babies. So do the airport officials. Based on the yoga pant to baby ratio, the yoga studio probably needs it's own terminal.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Doesn't yoga require more room? When my wife was breast feeding, she would sit in a chair. Maybe others do it differently and require to spread out a bit more.

The thing was a utilitarian closet with a sink and it was one of those industrial wooden chairs whereas the yoga room had a nice bench, floor, lighting. basically what I've seen at places downtown.

I just found the dichotomy weird more so because the yoga room is superfluous whereas the baby room is probably legitimate.

HAV?

As someone who was a nursing and pumping mom I kind of like the utilitarian closet with sink. It discourages narcissistic business men from taking it over as a conference room. My experience is the nicer it is the less likely it will be available when you need it. Chair, sink, door, outlet and empty worked for me. I think most men would be surprised by the number of women pumping at the row of sinks in the bathroom at airports since that was the best they could do for semi private with available outlet. Also having a nice space next to it probably increases the likelihood it is empty too.

LMAO you win the LR for the day

A) Completely unexpected response
B) If some asshole was in there holding a meeting I'd call the cops

Ok, but while you have time to call the cops I'd probably be nursing/ pumping in a bathroom so I can feed my child and catch my flight. These rooms are mostly for pumpers as people nurse wherever.

Think of it like a pool while traveling. Would you rather have ugly tiles and a stray bandaid in an empty lane or circle swim with a 70 yr old keeping their hair dry and a elementary backstroker in a gorgeous facility.

ETA the lactation room is the pain cave of the working mom.

From what I see this makes perfect sense. At least around here, yoga seems to be more important than parenting judging by the sheer numbers of new moms in yoga classes while their babies are in daycare...

Yoga for the win...

My daughter just had her third child. This is so dead on. A quiet clean place to feed or pump is great.

Yoga helps turn a mom into a milf....which often results in another child.

Usually of mixed race....

Completely agree. Something that is appealing to pump and feed would certainly be nice- accommodations for moms/families have been so frustratingly slow to come. I'm happy to see that there even *is* a pumping room. I suppose that is some progress. I remember doing that in an airplane bathroom a decade ago (I'm sure people thought I must have been having some major issues in there)- but even in places where there are loads of families- children's museums, amusement parks etc. The facilities are completely lacking!!!

While we are on the topic... children are amazingly germy. We want them to wash their hands... so can we get some child size sinks? It is not an easy thing to prop kids up on your knee and suspend them over a sink without them getting their clothes all wet. Oh. And if we can supply toilet paper, would it be too much to have wipes? Ok. I know. I know. I'm dreaming now.

Time to kill before flight = bar.

The only reason to check out the yoga room is milf hunting. Probably the same reason to check out the baby room.

Yeah the sink thing ain't happening that's what hand sanitizer is for

At 7 AM? I enjoy a tipple but the only time I drink that early at an airport is when I get off the overnight flight to Dublin and get a Guinness
