Another plug for the family lounge at the Santa Anita mall: they also have three or four individual private feeding stations with three walls and a curtain, a soft chair, and a lamp. It's great if you want a place to breastfeed in privacy. It's also great if you need a somewhat quiet place to let your baby sleep. I took the stroller in there and let my kid sleep for an hour once. Though it could be too loud for that if there are rowdy big kids or screaming babies in the lounge.

Also, fathers are allowed in the family lounge.
