/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Last Anime Weekend Atlanta my husband and I had to bring our 3 month old daughter because she was a little too young to leave with a babysitter for a weekend yet. I honestly expected not to spend too much time at the con with her except for at night when I could get my siblings to watch her for us while we did our panels. Well Anime Weekend Atlanta ended up being surprisingly baby friendly as funny as it sounds. Turns out they had a "baby lounge" where I could duck out of the con with her when she got overwhelmed by the crowds to feed her and change her and let her take a break in a nice quiet room. Everyone running the room were really nice and accommodating. They even had snacks for the little toddlers. Thanks to this room I was able to spend all day at the con without my daughter getting overwhelmed and having a complete meltdown! Now if I had the choice I wouldn't have brought her because I was not able to really go to any panels because I was scared of her crying during them and didn't want to be rude but I was still able to wander the halls with my friends and go to the game rooms and such.
TLDR- AWA is weirdly baby friendly. If you want to take a baby or toddler to it find the baby lounge
