Bluewater Christmas Shopping Frenzy

OK, I know I'm asking for trouble but I've agreed to go last minute christmas shopping with my Mum and Sister on Friday, I think its one of those girly bonding things. DH is taking the day off to have DSs, but I'm taking DD due to BF and usefulness of buggy whilst shopping. You know, carrying bags and breaking the ankles of unwary shoppers.

What I need to know, from you more experienced Bluewater shoppers (there must be someone on here!), is where are the best places to feed/change DD? I'm sure there must be a few places but some are bound to be better than others.

Any advice would be welcome as I've only been there once!

Actually SamACon the lovely thing about Bluewater is there are at least three general areas where you can take pushchairs into a special family loo (two loos for you and a toddler, plus changing area for nappy wearers) and have an entirely separate and very comfortable area to feed your baby. With ARMCHAIRS.
As far as shops are concerned, John Lewis reigns supreme, with two similar family lavs, a huge changing area and a smaller and not so separate area for b/f. But there are masses of women b/f in the nearby Place To Eat cafe in JL, so I'd sit tight and feed in comfort, preferably with your mum and sis cutting up your cake into bite-sized chunks for you.
Boots also had a decent area when ds was small (ie, just after the centre opened, I hope they still do). That one had TV!
Erm, you do all know that the traffic into the centre is likely to be hideous almost from the word go...it seems to me that the last handy car park to fill is the one behind House of Fraser as it is on the side of the site that no-one passes on their way in...
Best of British. I'm not going anywhere near that place again until at least March.

The Bluewater changing/feeding facilities next to John Lewis have those gliding rocking chairs in. At least they used to. Fantastic!

OK it looks like John Lewis is it, except when I'm stuffing cake! We'll sort out our plan of attack so at the relevent times we're in the comfy places, ta very much!

I'll pass the parking advice on to Mum - it's her idea so she gets to drive She's already being punished, as an Arsenal fan she has to hang around the West Ham shop so I can get DHs present.

Wish me luck!
