Baby room usage

Yes, I echo you, miao. Young babies take a lot of time to feed sometimes. No need to rush them, but since there are so FEW of these rooms, and how many thousands of nursing mothers in HK... it is borderline ignorant to take over the rooms, especially ones that are meant for more than one person. Having said that, bathroom stalls all have locks and are fairly private:)
At Discovery Park mall where I live, it`s quite baby friendly, with nursing rooms on all three floors, and many a time I have shared the rooms with other moms. I`ve met some great people in those rooms too.
 
I have had the experience of finding people sleeping in the mothers rooms (at discovery park). Not mothers, just random people there alone. I think if it is clearly a Public BF room meant for more than 1 person then they should take the lock right off the door, that is really rude to assume that your baby is the only baby in world that needs to eat at that moment. If it is meant to hold just 1 person, then I can see that being a private one. I fed anywhere and everywhere and didn't really need a special BF room except that there is hardly anywhere to sit, so would use the BF room for that reason, also used then when I had a toddler and a baby to that the toddler can't run away on me in the mall. I find it really odd why it is such a big deal to let another mother in to the room with you. Why do families even go in those rooms? Why couldn't the dad wait outside or take the other kids outside, there is hardly any room as it is.
