Baby Room Review - Viva Mall, Cheras

~ Posted on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 8:26 AM ~

It has been a while since I blog about my review on baby room. The last post I wrote which can be found on my old blog was on 4th June 2010. If you are interested, you can read them at: http://imafulltimemummy.blogspot.com/search/label/baby%20room

So anyway, since I'm back to breastfeeding Alyson (oh well, not that I ever STOP breastfeeding since 4th March 2009 - oh my., come to think of it.. I HAVE NOT STOP BREASTFEEDING SINCE MARCH 2009!!!), I thought I'll resume back blogging about baby rooms that we used - oh well, just the new ones that we've never use during Ben's time. I didn't blog about baby rooms so long because it's always the same places we have been to since then and I would prefer to just blog about the new baby rooms we tried.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy sneaking in my camera along with my baby and sheepishly taking pictures during the nursing session hehehehe...


When: 30th October 2011
Why: Family outing, also to lunch with my BFF and catch up on MY latest gossips with her (she is my gossip outlet muahahaha...)
Location: 3rd floor 

MY FEEDBACK

Facilities:

~The baby room is easy to locate, love the cute signage outside the room.

~ There are 2 partitions available for nursing, each one comes with a comfortable sofa and its own full length curtain. I chose the one next to the wall deco so I could have something to look at while nursing.

~ There is a 2 seater sofa outside which I think is for the spouse or others to sit while waiting. There's a small coffee table too.

~ Two diaper changing station with a very deep water sink right in the middle. The changing mat is really comfy and plush.

Comfort Level:

~ I like the separate curtain partitioning and even after I close off the curtain, there are still a lot of space left, enough to put a stroller in your nursing area as well.

~ I also like that the curtain length is long enough though I'd prefer it to be about 3-5 inches off the ground,  as even though the curtains are close, it might be safer IMO if I can see from outside that there's someone inside just by looking on the floor for tell tale of shoes, stroller or something.

What I don't like:

~ The baby room is quite cool (or maybe cos I sat right under the vent)

~ The music played in the baby room is not too loud, just nice, however, the same cannot be said for the sound from OUTSIDE of the baby room. Some shops outside played their music really loud which is annoying!

~ From my nursing section, I realised when I looked up why my nursing section is darker than the other one... turns out the light bulb is burnt.

~ And I'm not sure what went on the mind of the mall's management as there are NO dustbin provided in the baby room. And NO liquid dispenser or paper towel provided for you to wash your hands after changing the diaper.

Summary: The management really need to look into providing AT LEAST a dustbin in the baby room. Other than that, it is a nice and comfortable baby room that I would definitely go again the next time we visit Viva Mall.

Hey Germaine!
Ikano ones are nice but a bit cramp la... I love the one at Curve but I totally hate the swinging door!

I actually x kisah meman bilik baby pun.. yg penting peralatan mesti ada.. dan satu perkara yg perlu di perhatikan juga..

UDARA.. ialah.. klau dah banyak nau pampers di buang dlm tong sampah dn tak di bersihkan.. bilik tu akan berbauk BUSUK.. org lain nak menyusukan anak pun x selesa ko.. aku dh kene di Baby Room Jusco BU...

serik dah pas tu nak g baby room.. selesa lagi aku menyusu kat luar dr masuk bilik tu..huhuhuh

Jenny @ I'm a full-time mummy

Betul jugak tu Sumijelly, but baby room yg ni takde dustbin langsung!!!

farhana

best x viva? cm ikea x?

Jenny @ I'm a full-time mummy

Hi Farhana!
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Viva pada I best utk laki la.. sbb kebanyakan benda yg diorang jual is household items ngan furniture. Laki I 1st time pegi Viva punya la happy cos Viva mall ni lain dr mall lain la. Not much woman stores, perfume2 semua x nampak la.Nak kata cam Ikea x jugak cos Ikea is 1 whole store in 2 floors, Viva is few floors, then made up by alot of separate shops yg concept semua jual barang2 rumah, floor tiles, lighting, mcm2 la.. U try check it out la! Baby room is on 1st and 3rd floor according to their website!

Hope to see you back in my blog again! Have a nice day! Smile

Jenny @ I'm a full-time mummy

u all happy lah... got baby room. i go melaka tesco can only hide in the changing room!

Jenny @ I'm a full-time mummy

Hey Miki!
The Tesco at Mutiara Damansara here also same. I really cannot stand even the toilet... quite dirty and smelly leh... I so far only used the changing room to breastfeed Ben last year. Worse come to worse, I go over to Curve to feed hehehehe...

Ernie

The rooms look comfy,but you are right a bin and paper towels would make it more fulfilling .

Jenny @ I'm a full-time mummy
