Hi,
Thought I might start this so anyone can add in,then we can either avoid certain places or be prepared. Don't want to see another mother go through this awful experience.
Here is my bad experience which I had on Sat (8th May).
My husband and I took both boys ( 4 yrs and 9 Months) went to Royce Gym in the afternoon. Half way through my younger one demanded milk so as usual I found quiet corner (the reading cornor) as no one was using it and started feeding my bub, less than a minute a staff came over and told me I was not allowed to breastfeed my bub there and insisted me to go outside, so I asked her where she wanted me to go, she said just there, I wasn't sure where she was pointting so I followed her, (thought might be a bit more comfortable seat for me somewhere just outside).
Then she said just here, it's the same bench where everyone change their shoes next to the baby change table, only thing is there is a door between the bench. Then I spotted the couch further inside, I think it's the party area. So I walked towards the couch, just when I reached there, sat down, couple staffs yelled at me and said I wasn't allowed to go there and breastfeed my baby, I was very p****ssed off by then and ignored them. Again less than 5 mins the same staff came over and said the play session time was up and I had to get out this place immediately.
I was totally lost and could not control, I stopped feeding of course and asked the staff is this place for children or not she said yes then I asked is this company policy and written in the gym breastfeeding not allowed in this kid's gym, her answer was no, but some fathers don't like it (there were only two or three peopel there, none of them are singaporean). So I asked to talk to their manager. The manager wouldn't even come out to face me.
So ladies be prepared when you go there while you still need to breastfeed regularly.
