Maddie,
Agree with you. No prob sharing the room with other mothers needing to bf. But the room must be big enough and have enough seats for all. The vivo one that we both went simply cannot make it. Next time will check out the one that Xiang mentioned. I like going to Vivo but if their nursing rooms like that I will think twice about going.
So far I have been to the following:
Tangs orchard - 2 private rooms each with own diaper changing station and hot water dispenser. Downside is if 2 mommies are nursing then 3rd mommy wanting to change bb's diaper only will not be able to go in.
Isetan Scotts - nice and big area but can be madhouse during sale. Plus with only 2 nursing cubicles have to wait a long time. Good thing is there's a bench outside the 2 rooms so can bf there with nursing shawl.
United Square - Excellent! At least 3 rooms and many diaper changing tables. Bench seats available and high chairs for feeding toddlers as well.
Expo - make shift style. 3 cubicles with broken door locks. Mai hiam then ok.
Centrepoint - nursing room is for sharing, enough for 4 mommies to nurse comfortably. But must bring nursing cover cos room is cold and when the door opens might get exposed. Bench and diaper changing stations outside.
Raffles city - smaller than centrepoint's but same concept. Nursing room is for sharing but only 2 mothers can bf at any one time and stroller has to be placed outside in the diaper change area.
Anyone knows if Ikea Alexandra has a nursing room? The diaper changing room is at the toilets near the restaurant and was so stinko I brought my girl to the car instead.
My 7 week old bb has gone out shopping many times
happy to go out, downside is sonedays I spend more time in nursing rooms than shopping!
