I'm a new mother, and while I'm not bringing my infant to AB this year, I still need to pump regularly. Is there a private and quiet space to do so? I've heard of the Parent Lounge but never entered, does it have something that will work (instead of being one big room). A fridge for storage would be amazing too but that's unlikely I know. I'll have to bring ice packs and a cooler.
Anyone have any experience? Or should I contact the staff?
Nursing/Pumping locations? What's the Parents Lounge like?

Jade, if you haven't heard back about this from staff or anyone yet it might be worth reaching out to the Hynes. A quick search shows they might use the First Aid Station in the main lobby for feeding/pumping

The maps were released with the schedule. The Hynes 3rd Floor map https://www.animeboston.com/images/maps ... r_2022.png shows the Nursing Room in 307.RoaringJade wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 10:36 am I'm a new mother, and while I'm not bringing my infant to AB this year, I still need to pump regularly.

Thank you! I reached out to the Accessibility staff and was told there is a designated nursing/pumping area in Hynes Room 104 "Quiet Room." too.Kagomechan wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 5:53 pmThe maps were released with the schedule.
