Nursing rooms in Singapore: where to find them in malls and at Changi, and what to bring
Most big malls in Singapore have a nursing room, and so does every terminal at Changi Airport. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands lists six rooms with diaper-changing stations and hot water, VivoCity has a main baby room on Level 2 by the Play Court, Jewel has one on every level from B2 to L4, and Changi Airport says it has nearly 50 baby care rooms, some open 24 hours. Many mall websites show the room only as an icon on a map, so the quickest way to find one is the directory board, the mall's app or the concierge. Below are the rooms we could confirm on each venue's own website, what's usually inside, and what to pack.

We also checked the websites of Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City, Paragon, Plaza Singapura, Raffles City, Suntec City, Marina Square, Millenia Walk, Jurong Point and Tampines Mall. None gave a nursing room's level in text on 11 October 2026, though several show one as an icon on their maps. For these, look for the baby-room symbol on the directory board or ask customer service.
Other places with nursing rooms
- Shopping malls: usually near the family or kids' area, the customer service counter or the accessible toilets.
- Transport hubs: many MRT stations, bus interchanges and the airport have nursing facilities.
- Attractions and parks: family attractions, the zoos, museums and larger parks commonly have baby-care rooms.
- Hospitals, polyclinics and clinics: almost always have a private space for feeding.
- Public buildings: community clubs, libraries and many government buildings.
What to expect inside
Facilities vary, but a typical room has a private area or cubicle for nursing, a diaper-changing station and a sink. Better-equipped rooms, like those at Marina Bay Sands, VivoCity and Jewel, add a hot water dispenser for making up feeds, a waiting area and comfortable seats. Cleanliness and queues vary with the time of day.
What to bring
- Two or three diapers, wipes and a foldable changing mat, since not every changing table is clean when you get there
- A muslin or nursing cover
- Nappy bags for used diapers
- If you bottle-feed: pre-measured formula and a flask, or a cooler bag with expressed milk and an ice pack
- A spare top for your baby, and one for you
- Hand sanitiser
If you express milk while you're out, our guide to pumping and storing breast milk covers how long milk keeps in a cooler bag.
Nursing room etiquette
Changi Airport's rules for its baby care rooms work anywhere: respect other parents' privacy, and limit your time when it's busy so others can use it. If there's a queue, change the diaper first and nurse in a quieter spot nearby if you can.
Tips for feeding on the go
- Plan loosely around your baby's feed and nap times, and note where the nearest room is when you arrive somewhere new.
- Ask staff at customer service; they can usually point you to the nearest room quickly.
- Facilities and locations change, so check the venue's website or app before you go.
