Breastfeeding-friendly places in Stockholm

Before we dive into this list, I want to make a disclaimer, so there is no misunderstanding:

Everyone is different and has their own personal choice, circumstances and life situations: Breastfed, bottle-fed, or formula fed. Regardless of the personal choice, the most important is - Fed Baby is a Happy Baby!

This post is for moms, who might not feel comfortable breastfeeding in public spaces and want some privacy and comfort, especially as cold weather starts settling in. But it is also for moms who want to feed their babies in peace and comfort, away from the crowd distractions, when they are out and about with their little ones.

Here I included some emoji-coding FYI. Do let me know if you disagree 😉

Shopping Mall

Although toilets are mostly paid for in the shopping malls, the Family rooms, including the nursing rooms and changing tables are free. If they are not, in most cases, if you ask, you can be let in for free (for example, in Liljeholmstorget). Do write in the comments if it was not the case for you!)

Some Museums have comfortable rooms dedicated to mothers feeding their babies. There are also Museums that, although do not have dedicated rooms, are very open&accepting of the mothers feeding their little ones inside.

Library

Unfortunately, I have not seen a library with a dedicated room, but young mothers report feeling comfortable and confident feeding their babies in that space.

Here are some examples of libraries with cosy spaces.

BVC

BVC - barnavårdscentral 🛋️. At BVC, your child receives health examinations and vaccinations from the time he is a newborn until he starts preschool class. As a parent, you get support and advice about your child's health and development (source: 1177.se). No BVC will ask you to leave if you come and feed your baby there. Most of the BVC have dedicated feeding rooms as well as bathrooms with changing tables.
