Male toilets in public buildings in the US must now have baby changing facilities, according to a new law signed by President Barack Obama.
Both male and female bathrooms should have a "physically safe, sanitary and appropriate" place to change a nappy.
Known as the Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation (Babies) Act, it was first raised back in April by Congressman David N Cicilline.
"Federal buildings are paid for by taxpayers," he says.
"It's important to ensure that they are as open, as accessible, and as family-friendly as possible."
The act makes public places "more accommodating for working moms and dads" across the US.
