Minneapolis Airport is breastfeeding friendly

The Minneapolis Airport has set up what looks like a nice area for moms to breastfeed and parents to change diapers, relax, etc. The airport also has two children's play areas that sound pretty cool.

Has anybody flown through Minneapolis and used the play/rest areas? Let us know what you think! Maybe we can encourage other travel facilities to provide services like this.

Glad to see other airports are climbing aboard....Baton Rouge's airport has a lactation room that is very big, has a full vanity, sink, and a nice glider with footstool. I have never used it, but am glad it is available! Maybe I should suggest the airport install the new universal breastfeeding symbol on the door?

I have been through many airports, but never Minneapolis. Perhaps I will schedule a layover there next time....

Yup, the MSP/STP airport is great. All the family areas and bathrooms are very nice.

Yes, I agree! I'm from MN originally and have flown into that airport a bunch of times (a couple with 3 kids in tow ON MY OWN) and coming into the MSP airport is SOOOOOO calming because I know there are good places for me to go with my kids (and I just nurse wherever regardless...but still).
