DLP with baby (a small one at that!)

Daddies can go in the baby centre too for changing nappies and there's baby changing in male and female toilets too. Hope that helps put your mind at rest! You'll be fine

Thank you! This is really helpful as this was what I was worried about. The little bean and I are not great with wilderness breastfeeding . We need a chair and a bit of jiggling to get going so this does put my mind at rest. I'd love to be one of those people who can feed in a sling or walking around but we've still not got the hang of it

Just please wrap up warmly. DLP in October can be Baltic and you wouldn't want a cold baby! I'd also take a sling because mine were always happier in that.
Have fun!

We took dd when she was 6 weeks old and ds when he was 4 months. I was breastfeeding both. By 6 weeks the breastfeeding had become easier so I would take a seat somewhere, grab a drink and feed. I never had any problems with other people when feeding. I did use the baby care centre a few times for nappy changes but everything will have changed as dd is now 16 and ds nearly 14. I would recommend the sterilising tablets and a Tupperware type box if needing to sterilise bottles etc. They are readily available in the supermarkets and boots/ Superdrug etc.

I feel like I've definitely seen smaller babies on rides before, but may be one of those rules that cast members are patchy in enforcing?

Yes I would say it depends who you get. We did get asked on every ride how old he was and as I say saw someone turned away from Pan (they had been through the queue and were actually at the front about to get on and we're told their baby was too young) On a couple of rides we were asked if he could sit up unaided as there was no lap riding. It did used to mention it on the website so unless it's changed (we went Dec 2013), we asked and were told it was to do with safely evacuating a ride if needed. It was something to do with rides that would need a ladder to get you off if they became stuck and the safety of carrying a small baby down a ladder. Some like Casey junior it was simply no lap riding so they needed that independence. Also on peter pan we had to do different things depending on the cast member, sometimes we sat him next to us, other times he was on our lap!

Ah that makes sense about evacuation (think that's the same reason you can't go on some rides when pregnant) - although good luck evacuating a one year old down a ladder independently!
I think I've seen 'babes in arms' on POTC and Haunted Mansion but makes sense they'd need to be able to sit unaided.

I checked website again and under attractions it just has height requirement as far as I can see.

Anyway it's not so much about the rides with a little one so we'll just see what happens.

Sorry for the tangent OP!
