Baby Room Jusco Mid Valley

Salam.

Being a breastfeeding mother (although not 100%), setiap kali aku keluar ke shopping mall atau tempat2 awam, aku akan scout for any baby/nursing room.
Ini akan menjadi tugas aku sebagai seorang ibu lebih senang. Yela, kalo time tu aku xbawa susu tepung ke, baby berak ke, I know where to go.

Dekat Malaysia ni, baru sekarang la nak ada awareness for baby care. Time kita kecik2 dulu mana ade all this awareness. Kalau baby berak, pergi kat ladies toilet je. If ade tempat yg sediakan just a diaper room, that is considered as very lucky dah. And baby safety during travel...dulu mana org kesah. Carseat pun mana la org2 kita ni nak guna. Pegang je baby in our own arms during travel.
Now, time is changing. The new generation, Us. Kita dah create awareness and now dah byk places yg ade amenities for mothers with babies. Alhamdulillah. Walaupun in general masih tak banyak mcm negara lain, tapi at least we are progressing. Safety-wise pun dah progress a lot. We put safety first for our babies.

Anyway, the first baby room I went to is at Jusco Mid Valley. Lulu waktu tu menangis nak susu & xnak the bottle. Kebetulan, aku ada kat Jusco & ternampak the sign baby room dekat tempat Washroom area diorg.

Nampak tak illustration botol susu & org dgn baby tu?

Breastfeeding room kat Jusco Mid Valley ni pakai just curtain yg you slide. Tapi, no cangkuk whatsoever. Just slide to close and slide to open. Maknanya, ada possibility org lain akan tgk kat dalam.
Pada aku, not a problem. Sebab, luar bilik ade sign kat dinding ckp, Strictly no men inside breastfeeding room. And lagi satu, aku rasa diorg tak letak cangkuk for safety measures. Yela, this should be a child friendly area kan.

Atas pintu tu ade signage illustration mother tgh breastfeed and betul2 luar pintu (yg sign warne orange) tulis no men allowed.

That's the curtain I'm talking about. Ok la kan.

Even with a stroller in the room, still quite spacious.

Apa yg best? Bilik besar, comfortable, sofa panjang, ada table.
Apa yg kurang best? Bilik agak panas...mungkin sebab penggunaan lampu kuning kot. So kene dim the lights la..
And signage botol susu tu quite misleading. Apparently, ada some moms gune bilik tu tapi tak breastfeed pun. Dia bagi botol je. Please moms, look at the sign above the doorway. The room is for breastfeeding mothers.
Unless if you give bottle & then breastfeed sekali, that, I understand ok.

All in all, a very nice touch on the baby room. Aku rasa memang yg ni diorg baru renovate. Memang nampak baru. Comfortable, yes. Easy to find, yes. So, my 1st experience with baby room...puas hati.

Before kita bye bye, utk mothers sekalian, kdg2 bila kita tgh dlm breastfeeding room, sure akan ada encounter mothers lain yg nk share room dgn kita. I'm sure ada org yg kesah or malu...tapi in my honest opinion, be willing to share. There will be at times that no rooms are available even after some time waiting or try searching various places or even worse, the baby start to mengamuk. Be understanding. Takkan la kita nak biarkan anak org tu lapar? What if one day it happens to diri kita sendiri?
So far, walaupun aku baru 4 bulan being a mother, ok, make that 2 bulan start keluar jalan2 as a mother, aku dah experience sharing breastfeeding rooms 3 kali. Ye, mungkin mula2 rasa awkward but it's ok.
Just remember, bila tgh share room dgn org lain, bgtau your husband outside. Ini utk mengelakkan dia masuk secara tiba2 dalam breastfeeding room tu while ade org lain yg tgh breastfeed jugak. =)

So, that's all for my 1st visit to a baby room. I will post reviews of other baby rooms whenever I get the chance. Happy Mother-ing!
