McDonald’s Singapore, Screengrabs
Fast food fans, here’s something to chase away those Monday blues.
McDonald’s Singapore is giving away 1-for-1 deals for 40 days, starting Monday (September 9) and ending October 18.
The fast food chain, which celebrates its 40th year in the republic in 2019, said in a statement that the campaign was its way of “thanking customers for their support through the generations”.
It will kick off its first three days with 1-for-1 McSpicy offers (one for each day) before a new promotion is announced on September 12.
But while anyone can redeem the offer, these deals are not available on all orders.
To claim a deal, customers need to be using the McDonald’s mobile app at any one of McDonald’s restaurant counters, self-ordering kiosks and drive-through outlets.
Those who love to order McDelivery or GrabFood will not see the deals reflected in their orders. Stores located within institutions will also not be offering the deals.
All deals are available while stocks last, it added.
McDonald’s Singapore said it would regularly update customers on the fresh deals made available on its mobile app, which also has a separate section consisting of app-only deals.

Mum & Baby Guide to Copenhagen

Copenhagen is without any doubt a baby-friendly city. Read about the city’s attractions and places that provide you with all you need for you and your baby to relax and enjoy the big city life.
In Copenhagen, you can see parents with kids or groups of mums with strollers everywhere. In cafés, food halls, museums and libraries. There are plenty of classes and workshops for mums and their babies, yoga, pilates, sewing classes just to name few.
Museums encourage parents to come with their children by providing them with changing facilities for the little ones and playrooms and activities for the older ones. SMK and Arken also provide parents with a pram to move around the museum. Many cafes and libraries have play areas and changing tables.
I know that not everybody feels like venturing out in the city with a little baby, but the multitude of places dedicated to parents with kids and social acceptance for showing up in a museum or a café with a little child makes it a lot easier. I also found out that there are plenty of things to do once you are on maternity leave. I’ve tried baby swimming, sanserytmik/puslestik, which is a movement and sound workshop for children, baby-yoga and baby-pilates, baby cinema and sewing classes and I am sure there is still more to be discovered.

Here is my list of baby-friendly places in Copenhagen!

Since I live in Frederiksberg most of the places are close to where I live thus I hope fellow mums and dads will help us with expanding the list by sharing their experiences and information about their favourite baby-friendly places and workshops.

Cafes with changing tables, play areas and comfortable couches

  • Maud’s Salon on Gammel Kongevej
One of my favourite cafes to go with a baby, it is spacious and has a nice bathroom with a changing table and a tasteful interior.
The café offers a really nice brunch on the weekends and has a big selection of cakes, tea and coffee and light snacks during the week.
The comfortable couches and spacious interior allow you and your baby to relax in the middle of the busy Gammel Kongevej street. Skærmbillede 2017-04-25 kl. 21.46.46
  • Café Laundromat on Gammel Kongevej in Frederiksberg and Århusgade 38 Østerbro
Good food, cosy relaxed atmosphere and a playground area. 
Great pancakes! And a big bathroom with a changing table. 
  • Café Sweet Surrender on Dybbølsgade 49
It’s a baby friendly non-profit café with home-made dishes, a great place if you also have older children as it has a big play area. The café is nice and cosy and has good prices but since it’s a café where many families go it can be quite loud sometimes.

Museums, Libraries and Other Activities

  • Museums
In SMK and Arken you get a pram and there are changing facilities as well as workshops for kids.SMK is my favourite as you can combine the visit with a walk in the Kongens Have or Botanical Gardens.
There are many of other museums that have activities for older kids. 

  • Absalon
A unique place created in an old church, “a living room outside your home” as the founders call it. Absalon has all kinds of activities for different age groups; dance, music, yoga, community dinners, exhibitions all you can think about! Amongst them, there are movement and singing workshops (Rytmik and Sanglege) for the little babies and older kids (groups are for 4-7 months, 7-12 months and 1-2 years or 2-4 years) and baby yoga. 

  • Libraries with playrooms for children and Remisen, an indoor playground.
Many of the libraries in Copenhagen have a kids corner where the little ones can play and a there is also a changing table. In most of the libraries, you can also bring the pram inside, and there is a table with chairs for babies where they can have a snack.
My absolute favourite is the main library next to the Round Tower downtown. It has two rooms dedicated to children. There is a room with toys where you can find a car, a little theatre and the iconic wheely bugs. There is also a room filled in with bObles , a popular soft foam furniture, which encourages play and movement.I also had the opportunity to visit Sundby Bibliotek in Amager and can definitely recommend it, as well as the library in Frederiksberg. The libraries offer an amazing choice of books for children, also in foreign languages. Another interesting option, especially for rainy days is Remisen, an indoor playground for the little ones. 
  • Other Activities
My son really liked Puslestik, which is a movement and sound workshop for little kids. I can recommend Puslestik with AOF and Sanserytmik with Frederiksberg Have Yoga. The classes were in Danish, but I asked our teacher, Laerke Jensen, if my 2 friends who didn’t speak any Danish could join and she was very happy to teach in English.
AOF offers also plenty of other courses for babies and kids. 
Another great activity is Sanserytmik in Frederiksberg Have Yoga Center, which is located in a nice building just in the heart of Frederiksberg Have.
I also tried sewing and design in Krea Rum in Frederiksberg. They have a special workshop for mums so you can bring your baby along..
When I moved to Copenhagen I was amazed by all the amazing places and cultural events, this beautiful city has to offer. Copenhagen has plenty of festivals, museums, art galleries, libraries and historical attractions, and let’s not forget about the famous Danish “hygge” and all the cosy cafés and parks and food halls. And the best of it is that you don’t have to say goodbye to all of the big-city fun when you have a baby as Copenhagen welcomes you and your baby to enjoy the city life!
