OTTAWA ONTARIO
“In Canada, “anytime, anywhere” is the slogan. That said, just about all malls in Ottawa have nursing rooms
Bayshore mall – not that nice
Carlingwood mall – pretty nice
St.Laurent mall – pretty nice but often crowded
Rideau Centre in Sears – okay if it doesn’t smell like poopy diapers). I’ve used them to pump before, but rarely would to nurse. I just nurse in the food court or on a bench.
– Thank you phdinparenting!!

I wanted to recommend a fantastic ballet school in the North Toronto area. Victoria Ballet Academy – is not only a great place to for young dancers, the atmosphere is exceptionally family and very breastfeeding friendly. I have nursed my 11 month old son there since he was born while I attend my daughter’s ballet classes.
There is no particular room for breastfeeding, but the parents waiting area has a couch and a lounge chair that I have often nursed in. No one here has so much as batted an eye at breastfeeding and when I commented to the director about how open an environment it was, he seemed flabergasted saying that breastfeeding is normal and it never even occurred to him!
People have always offerred me a spot on the couch or chair and have gone out of their way for my comfort.
I have always felt more than welcome there and would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a great place for their child to learn to dance and a place that is completely welcoming to parents and to nursing mothers.
What a great atmostphere and a great business!
