Dubai airport

Nope.

Couldn't find any facilities. The airport is incredibly busy with large groups of people sleeping and eating and camping out along all the corridors & floors, even laying out mats to sleep on. Trying to find a quiet space to feed would have been impossible.

Thank goodness the stop-over was short & I fed my son shortly before we landed and shortly after we took off again. I dont know what I would have done if the flight had been delayed.

Heathrow Airport terminal 3

Terrible facilities at Heathrow terminal 3. Given how busy the airport terminal is and how many families fly with young children, having two cubicles (that lock) that double up as a nappy changing facility & "nursing room" a plastic chair that is inside the nappy room along with the 4 smelly nappy bins, it's a real disgrace and really pays lip service only to the idea.

We were lucky and the room was empty, but having changed our eldest whilst I breastfed the youngest, and then changed him, the queue outside was huge (sorry!) and some poor parents were resorting to changing their child on the floor outside.

The "nursing" room was also filthy dirty and looked like it had been weeks since a cleaner had last been there.

Singapore Airport

Singapore airport now have a kid's area behind the GST rebate desk, once you have checked in & after customs / immigration.

There's a playground, changing facilities, and two lockable rooms where you can feed your child. Clean, well maintained, and pleasant.
