Singapore is becoming more and more breastfeeding-friendly – more and more building like shopping centres, government buildings, hospitals, place of interests have nursing room for the breastfeeding mothers as government is trying to raise the birth rate.
Orchard road is a shopping parade, with many shopping centres like Ngee Ann City, Ion Orchard, Centrepoint, Tangs and 313@somerset, orchard gateway. lucky plaza, paragon, wheelock place, wisma atria, great world city.
Among them, Ngee Ann City (also known as Takashimaya as main merchant at Ngee Ann City is Takashimaya), Ion Orchard, Centrepoint, 313@somerset and orchard gateway, Paragon, wheelock place, great world city and wisma atria have nursing room. The one at Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya) and Ion orchard has been voted as some of the best nursing rooms in Singapore as they have good facilities like bottle warmer other than the standard facilities like hot water dispenser, cold water dispenser.
Of course, feel is an very important factor. The ones mentioned above give nursing mothers very comfortable feeling and it is one of the important reason why they are the best among many.
From what we know, some important shopping centres like Tangs does not have a nursing room. But you can find one nearby without much trouble like the one in Ion orchard and shaw building.
Other than Orchard road, shopping centres in CBD area like Raffles City, Liang Court, Suntec City also have nursing rooms.
Office buildings in this are also have nursing room but they are usually not open to the general public.
Places of interest like Esplanade, Chinatown Point, Garden By the Bay also has nursing room for the tourists – an important feature that makes it pro-family and good destination for family.
Overall, it makes business sense to have nursing rooms in the shopping centre as it could attract family who usually need to spend a lot of money on baby related products. Of course, they not only buy baby related products, father and mother also need to purchase other things for the family.
