here's MY thoughts on some of the malls in kl:

bsc - the baby room is well done up, well lit and clean. it has a sink, a supremely padded changing table and a really comfy armchair. you can actually take a pretty good nap in there. however, bsc has a grand total of three baby rooms to serve the old AND new wing, which is not enough to say the least. considering the fact that bsc does not have seats or sofas around the mall (besides the ones in between chili's and dome) you have to either go to the baby room or be in a dining outlet in order to breastfeed. who in the world can breastfeed standing up?! also, you wouldn't want to breastfeed on the seats between chili's and dome because it's a high traffic area and the seats have no backs. sure they have seats in the loos but it won't be the place i would head to to breastfeed! i was breastfeeding in the baby room the other night and people kept on trying to open the door which in turn kept on distracting baby c. i was extremely annoyed to say the least. also, bsc does not have a toilet in the baby room. hence i would not be able to mooch around bsc with baby alone. how would i go to the loo and what, leave baby in his pram outside my stall?! to think that bsc is supposed to be one of the better malls around town (just because they serve mostly expats), it is really disappointing to know that they didn't put in enough thought for mothers and babies. i really had high hopes for them considering their major renovations and overhaul. oh and the changing table is kinda high for me (a shorty).

bv - the baby room and the disabled toilet is one and the same. so plus point is that i can mooch around bv alone with baby because i can bring him into the baby room with me in his pram BUT the cleaning crew is obviously not doing their jobs because the baby room really smells. so it's kinda gross in there. the few times i've been in there, i refused to push the pram in. i went in there did as quick a job of changing baby c as i could and got the hell out of there. bv is like bsc, no seats around the mall either and no seat in the disabled toilet (not that i would even think of breastfeeding baby c in there!).

1u - like bv, the baby room and disabled toilet is one and the same and the condition of the room is also like bv's - dirty, wet, smelly and gross. they do have baby rooms in the ladies toilet which is much cleaner possibly because it's dry. however, everytime i've been into the toilets in 1u, there are the cleaners and promoters sleeping in the rooms. so....................... 1u does have lots of seats around the mall. just look for ones with backs and in quieter areas like in the new wing in front of zara.

gardens - my absolute favourite! they have obviously put in time and effort to plan the baby rooms. the rooms are big, clean, has a sink, a changing table, a seat and a toilet. the rooms have dim lighting and it almost feels like a hotel toilet. the baby rooms are on certain floors only but that's ok because on that particular floor, you would find 6 baby rooms (3 on each end). hence, i love going to the gardens with baby in tow (alone or not). well, at least i do not have to leave him in his pram outside my stall should i need to use the loo! also, isetan has a baby room as well. they have private cubicles (closed off with curtains) should you need to breastfeed. also, they provide water in the baby room.

i know there are more malls around town but i have not gotten to them yet. so, once i have, i'll have updates!
