The Hy-Vee in Urbandale has a space set aside just for nursing moms? You can find it near the restrooms on the deli side of the store.
This nursing mothers room is spacious enough to provide the following amenities:
- A very comfortable padded sofa-couch and ottoman
- A baby changing table
- Power outlet to connect an electric breastpump
- A second low table with small chairs and toys for older todler siblings to play while mom nurses
- A diaper disposal container
- Comfy lighting
- Decorated wall
As a reminder, state of Iowa protects a mother's right to breastfeed in public anywhere she feels comfortable so please openly breastfeed if you prefer not to use a nursing room.
