City center & Seef mall Muharraq have baby changing rooms, near the bathrooms, throughout the mall that have changing tables and sinks in them. They also have chairs in them that u can sit on to feed the baby in a private room if you wish. If you would prefer the flexibility of feeding in a coffee shop etc So long as you use a feeding cover, you won't be attracting any unwanted attention

As long as you cover yourself , you can breast feed anywhere .. No restriction at all..Some malls have nursing rooms with sofas to breast feed .. As a Bahraini I grew up seeing mothers breast feeding everywhere ..

I breastfeed my baby whenever/wherever he gets hungry. Shops, coffee shops, wherever i can sit down. I use a cover. Nobody can see anything. Im sure most people dont even realise thats what im doing. Wouldnt do it in the toilet though. That doesnt sound very hygenic. I dont eat in the toilet...
