Whether you need to breastfeed your baby, pump, or change a diaper in a jiffy, here is our guide to finding a nursing room in Singapore.
Singapore is home to some of the best kid-friendly outing options around, but when you’re strolling about with your bub, it’s inevitable a feed or change is just around the corner – and you’re gonna need a nursing room, stat! Forget being a frazzled mama, we’ll have you looking cool, calm and collected with our ultimate guide to the best nursing rooms in Singapore, including family rooms, baby care rooms and changing stations in your favourite malls, amusement parks and even the airport!
Click through our gallery to see the best of the bunch — these are the ones worth planning your trip around, mama! We wanted to highlight our absolute favourite nursing rooms, which are worth seeking out if you should find yourself in the neighbourhood. One place where Singapore could definitely use more fab facilities is the CBD, so we’ve included the few gems in our gallery of Singapore’s best nursing rooms, where we look at factors like facilities (Is there a power-point? Is there room to park your stroller?) and amenities (Is hot water available? What about spare diapers? A few even offer up bottle sterilizers!).
In our experience, having the right equipment can also ensure a smoother, less stressful nursing (or diaper changing) experience. We’ve teamed up with Bravado Nursing Bras to update our ultimate guide and bring you the most current and useful information – some of our favourite spots weren’t even built yet when we published our original guide in 2015!
A good nursing bra is a must-have for every breastfeeding mama, whether you’re on the go with your bub or need easy access when you’re pumping at the office. Luxuriously soft, seamless, and wire-free for comfort, Bravado’s award-winning nursing bras come in a variety of styles that have been “road tested” by hundreds of mamas of every body type (and breast size).
We particularly love the proprietary one-handed Bravado “B” clips that make opening and closing the bras a snap (literally), as well as the included bra conversion kit that allows you to extend these beautiful bras’ value by turning them into “regular bras” once your nursing journey is complete.
And now, swipe through to see our top picks for the best nursing rooms in Singapore!
Also be sure to read on for our comprehensive guide, which strives to cover as many nursing rooms in Singapore as possible, including their key features. We also want to tip our hat to mama Madeleine at Mad Psych Mum who’s written dozens of personal reviews of Singapore nursing rooms that are well worth checking out.

Happy feeding (and changing), mamas!
Options in the CBD are far and few between, so if you find yourself on the Northern/Eastern side of Raffles Place this may be your best bet (of course, we suggest purchasing a coffee or a trinket from the gift shop if you’re not already there for a lovely afternoon tea or brunch!).

The Fullerton Hotel, 1 Fullerton Square, Singapore 049178, www.fullertonhotels.com/the-fullerton-hotel
There’s nothing particularly special about this nursing room except that it’s in the basement of a mall connected to one of Singapore’s biggest office buildings (Marina Bay Financial Centre — we’ve had a few working mama friends who’ve pumped in here at lunchtime). It’s too small to fit a pram, but it does have a seat for nursing, a fold-down changing table, a sink, and the all-important power point.
Amenities: Power point; fold-down changing table; sink; seat for nursing.
Location: B2 (next to Din Tai Fung near the restrooms and car park exit)
Marina Bay Link Mall, 8A Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018984, www.marinabaylink.com.sg
We hear horror stories about workin’ mamas lining up to pump at this – the only nursing room in the heart of Raffles Place (we know offices should all have their own pumping facilities, but sadly that just isn’t the case right now). That said, for mamas who find themselves needing to pump (or toting their babies around the CBD), head to Level 4 to get the job done (but try not to go at peak times like lunch!). Note that this room is also too small to fit a pram.
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; changing table; sink; chair for nursing; power point.
Location: Level 4 (next to restrooms, beside Shou Slimming Centre).
One Raffles Place, 1 Raffles Place, Singapore 048616, www.onerafflesplace.com.sg/shopping
The nursing room at this shiny new mall and office building on Shenton Way is a welcome addition to the CBD area (though nursing rooms are still too far and few between!). Here, the nursing room is separate from the changing area, which is good for efficiency’s sake but does create some pretty tight quarters (there’s just enough space to fit a stroller into each, though).
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; power points; padded changing table; sink; separate nursing room (with one seat).
Location: Level 2
OUE Downtown Gallery, 6A Shenton Way, Singapore 068815, www.downtowngallery.com.sg

Suntec City Shopping Mall, 3 Temasek Boulevard, Singapore 038983, www.sunteccity.com.sg
ION has always had some of our favorite restrooms in Singapore – you can never go wrong with fresh flowers! – so it’s little wonder that their nursing rooms are just as nice. In fact, some of them were just newly renovated in March 2019! In addition to standard amenities like a hot water dispenser and changing tables, on B3 and B4 you’ll also discover a bottle warmer and handy diaper vending machine if you find yourself in a pinch (has definitely happened to us on more than one occasion)! We also like that these rooms have plenty of room for a stroller.
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; cushioned changing tables; bottle warmer; diaper vending machine; separate nursing alcoves.

Location: Levels 3 and 5 (near the restrooms).
Paragon Shopping Centre, 290 Orchard Road, Singapore 238859, www.paragon.com.sg
This has long held the crown as the single best nursing room in Singapore, and in our humble opinion no one’s come for it yet! Super clean, spacious, and comfortable, this family lounge has room for a whole gaggle of strollers. The five separate nursing areas each feature a comfy seat and dedicated changing table. You’ll also find toddler high chairs (with trays!) and even a Huggies diaper dispenser. There’s also a spacious seating area with a TV where you can send bored older kiddos if need be. This room is worth seeking out if you find yourself on Orchard and your bub needs a breather, mama. And if – due to its popularity – it’s crowded, you’ll be relieved to know there are additional nice nursing rooms elsewhere in Ngee Ann City.
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; cushioned changing table; power points; Huggies diaper dispenser; toddler high chair; sinks; separate nursing alcoves with additional changing tables.
Location: Level 4 (near the children’s clothing section), Takashimaya @ Ngee Ann City (additional nursing rooms in the mall at B1 and B2).
Takashimaya, 391A Orchard Road, Singapore 238873, www.takashimaya.com.sg
Changi seriously sets a global standard for its family-friendly facilities, with a whopping 30 baby care facilities spanning its four terminals, in both public and private areas. Each and every room is equipped with a hot water dispenser and clean and comfy changing facilities, and many also have dedicated, private nursing stalls as well. Our hands down fave is the Peranakan-themed nursing room in the gorgeous Terminal 4 (pictured), which just opened in 2017. Unsurprisingly this most modern terminal offers no less than eleven nursing and changing rooms, including five in public areas like the departure and arrivals halls.

We’re deeming this the best nursing room in the East; it’s exceptionally clean and tidy, with three handy, private nursing stalls as well as multiple changing rooms and plenty of room for multiple strollers.
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; power points; cushioned changing tables; three separate nursing alcoves (with comfy chairs and shelves).
Location: Level 2
Kinex Mall, 11 Tanjong Katong Road, Singapore 437157, www.kinex.com.sg
We love these cute and spacious nursing rooms (there are two on B1 and you’ll find an additional one on Level 1), which are clean and bright and feature on-brand photos of cute babies on the walls. They’re so thoughtful as to even include mobiles over the cushioned changing tables to keep bubs distracted!
Amenities: Hot water dispenser; multiple cushioned changing tables; power point; sinks; separate nursing alcoves (with hooks nearby to hang the diaper bag); mobiles over changing tables.
Location: Two nursing rooms (and three changing rooms) on B1; an additional one on Level 1 (next to McDonalds).
Great World City, 1 Kim Seng Promenade, Singapore 237994, www.greatworldcity.com.sg
These oh-so colourful rooms (peep that bold, stripey wallpaper!) offer plenty of privacy (limited to one family per room, although we’ve shared the changing tables in a pinch), along with a handy seat where you can strap in a wiggly toddler if need be. Spacious enough to fit one stroller at a time, and nice and quiet.
Amenities: Hot water dispenser; cushioned changing table; power point; comfy nursing chair; toddler seat; diaper disposal bags; sink.
Locations: Two rooms per floor on B1, B2, and Level 1.
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956, www.marinabaysands.com
These two nursing rooms aren’t the fanciest, but we like how bright and spacious they are, with plenty of room to park strollers. There are also two toddler high chairs in case you’ve got multiple kiddos in tow and one is hankering for a different kind of snack!
Amenities: Power point; separate nursing alcoves; toddler chairs; cushioned changing tables.
Location: B1(next to the car park exit)
Millennia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039596, www.milleniawalk.com
In keeping with the trend (including Changi Terminal 4 and OUE Downtown Gallery) it’s no surprise that this new building features particularly schmick nursing rooms – and bonus that it’s conveniently located smack in the middle of the city! At the stunning National Gallery you’ll find one nursing room per floor (that’s six in total!) with one cosy nursing room per level, each with a comfy chair and enough room for a stroller (except on Level 5, which only has a small stool, and no sofa).
Amenities: Hot/cold water dispenser; power point; cushioned changing table; sink; comfy nursing chair.
Location: One nursing room per floor on B1, and Levels 1-5
National Gallery, Singapore, St. Andrew’s Road, Singapore 178957, www.nationalgallery.sg
We hear the best nursing facilities on the island are at Universal Studios, but within public areas you’ve got a few choices near the Festive Walk on both Level 1 and B1, as well as at the Galleria (note that this larger room is a bit trickier to find – head down a long hallway behind the shops).
Amenities: Sink; Power points; changing tables; separate nursing alcoves.
Location: Festive Walk (single rooms on B1 and Level 1, Double rooms on Level 1 near Osia); Galleria (three nursing rooms).
