After polling moms around Singapore, we have gathered the top 7 nursing rooms in the city that offer a great experience for both moms and babies. Plus, we will share many other hidden gems.
Let’s dive in!

“I am a first-time mum of a 3-month-old baby. Going out with my baby, especially to air-conditioned malls, often provides a welcome break from the repetitive mundanity of caring for a newborn. After visiting several malls, I’ve come to love the nursing facilities at Takashimaya for their availability, privacy, and convenience. They have enough individual nursing rooms so that even on busy weekends or during the popular midday hours on weekdays, there are still empty rooms available. As my baby latches to feed, an added bonus is the nursing chair, which is just the right size to provide ergonomic support while nursing. To top it all off, the amenities provided by Takashimaya, like plastic bags for diaper disposal, Betadine antibacterial hand wash, and paper towels for convenient hand drying, make the entire experience even more enjoyable.” – Scarlet

You might find yourself thinking like this mom: "It’s super easy with a nursing cover and a nursing camisole! You can nurse on the go without any fuss." – Lim Lay Peng Dawn
