I finally tried the
Breastfeeding Station at Eastwood Mall and it was a pleasant experience. My
hubby and I were actually ready to go home because the little one needs feeding
and unless we find a secluded or uncrowded restaurant then the car it is. Since
she hit three months, Caitlin easily gets distracted during feedings. Her dad
knows too well to get out of the room during feeding. Otherwise, it will be
difficult to keep her latched on.
So the Breastfeeding
Station inside the mall was a welcome surprise. We don't have to resort to the
car after all. Located at the 3/F of the mall, it comes with a diaper changing
table, a huge mirror located near the door so you can check whether your
outfit's tucked in tightly where it should be before going out, magazines, and
comfy sofas which can be separated by curtains. Above all, it provides the
needed privacy and a lot of peace and quiet for nursing moms and their babies,
whether they're easily distracted or not.
Apart from Eastwood
Mall, SM also provides Breastfeeding Stations for
its customers, counting 24 in its supermalls nationwide.
And with the passing of the Expanded Breastfeeding Law,
working moms may ask their employers, whether they are in the government or
private sector, to put up a little nook for them where they can feed their
child or pump their milk in private. Tax incentives will be given to companies
which will provide a place for their employees to nurse, express, and
refrigerate their milk.

Comfy sofas.
Happy mommy and baby.
