Little India (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Little India?

Positives:
- Smooth, flat pathways: Wide sidewalks on Serangoon Road ease stroller walks.
- Nearby nursing rooms: City Square Mall offers private nursing and diaper-changing facilities.
Challenges:
- Heat and humidity: Open streets can get hot; schedule indoor breaks to cool down.
- Limited stroller access in shophouses: Many shop entrances have steps or narrow doors; carry a baby carrier.
