Place D’Orleans Mall – A reader writes: “Large nursing room (“Place Bébé”) off the food court on the upper level. Four glider chairs in a common area, one in an alcove with a curtain. Colourful decorations, very cheerful. Also has nice changing facilities with free supplies. Smaller nursing room on the ground floor near the bathrooms that are beside the bookstore. Only room for one, very private, but old and a bit dingy.”

“Note that in all the large (multi-person) nursing rooms in the Ottawa area, it is fairly common for men to accompany the nursing mothers. None that I’ve seen forbid men from entering.
Bayshore Shopping Centre “Family washroom on ground floor (across from the Cinnabon) has a private area, but it’s not very comfortable (poorly-padded bench). There is no sign advertising nursing facilities, so if you don’t go in, you won’t find it.”
Rideau Centre Mall – Sears has a room with one rocking chair and a change table in the baby/children’s section. It’s not very nice, and I don’t think the door locks.
Carlingwood Mall – Nursing room off the food court with two high-backed chairs and a changing area. This has been renovated recently and is very nice and clean.
St. Laurent Centre -Nursing room off the food court with three rocking armchairs and changing area. Recently renovated and fairly nice, but sometimes not as clean as it could be. Sears has a tiny room in the baby section that is barely big enough for the glider chair and change table they have in there. Toys R Us has a “parenting room” in the Babies R Us section. This has one glider chair and a changing area. It’s often not super clean.
Ikea – Tiny nursing room in the cafeteria with a big arm chair and changing area with free supplies (but they are often all out). Because so many people come with babies around lunchtime, there is sometimes a line-up.”
