I think looking for hotels at the west side of the Vondelpark is a good start. Some of the downtown pedestrian areas are not well suited for stawlers (if you bring one). PJ

I don't have specific information on Amsterdam, but I've found most hotels and apartments are happy to accommodate infants and provide a "baby bed" (usually a play-pen). If you're using the Web, however, I notice most search engines insist on booking you in a "triple room" or larger if you mention you're traveling with a baby. Your best bet is to book directly with your desired hotel / B&B and get a direct answer on their policies regarding little ones. A final bit of general advice: you'll need to adjust to the baby's schedule as much as possible; trying to get the baby to adjust to yours is likely to make life miserable for all concerned. Good luck!

I agree with the above post about Vondelpark area. I'd also suggest using those baby "backpack" thingys (the ones you can "hang" the baby in front - definitely in front - of you :) instead of a stroller. Btw, typical Dutch stairs are SUPER steep with super narrow steps.
