Bangsar, KL - Bangsar Village Nursing Room

We set out on a quest to search for our choice of baby carrier. Our first stop was Bangsar Village. The mall seemed to be for the uptown people as the cars at the parking lot were mostly luxury saloon cars.

Upon arrival, we search for a directory for the exact location of Tiny Tapir. Tiny Tapir had a range of baby carriers. However, before we even found the shop, Little Jen was cranky already. Hence, we searched high and low for the Nursing Room. The directory showed the location of the Nursing Room clearly but searching for it was no easy task. In the end, we gave up and asked a staff of a cafe nearby as the Nursing Room was shown to be around there.

The staff told us that the Nursing Room was behind the door next to the cafe's counter. No wonder we could not find it. The door had no sign on it and there was no sign showing that the Nursing Room or Toilet were behind the door.

My Hubby checked the room to ensure that we were okay and left us, just in case some other nursing mothers needed to use the room too. The room was very simply designed with a water sink for washing. There were 2 chairs for nursing and they were put adjacent to each other with curtains to separate them. No space to walk in front of the curtains. That meant that if the outer chair was occupied and you needed to use the inner chair, you would have to invade on the privacy of the nursing mummy on the outer chair to get to the other chair.

The curtains were pleasantly bubbly with so many bubbles of different colours on them. However, it was not pleasant at all to me as Little Jen was so busy admiring the coloured bubbles that he refused to nurse.

Soon after my Hubby left, the door outside opened again and closed with a bang. I had to call out to ask if it was my Hubby since I could not see anything with the curtains pulled. No answer. I quickly finished the session and then left the room. Of course I was afraid for our safety as the room was at the end of a hallway from the Entrance. Next to the Nursing Room was a Male Toilet and if anything were to happen, there would be no one to hear us. Eerie.. I asked Hubby if he returned to the room after he left us. He said no, and I guessed it might have been some Cleaner.

That was my first time there and would be my last time as well..

  2. Love your post. Thanks for sharing this. Is the nursing room located in BV I or BV II?

    I will be going to BV II for an event, hoping there will be a nursing room for me and baby.

  3. Ops, good question, I did not state cause I could not remember if the Nursing Room was located in BV I or II. Most probably at BV I as I remember that I could not find any at BV II where the Tiny Tapir shop was.
