Italian term

biberoneria

Italian to English Marketing Tourism & Travel all inclusive holidays -resorts
no context, just a list of facilities available at the resort, such as:
Ristorante, bar, piano bar, piscina coperta, biberoneria, mini club, angolo palestra.

I have never heard of this term before (suppongo sia un neologismo) - though it seems quite a logical term, I've checked google and 'biberoneria' services vary - would you say something along the lines of "baby feeding facility"? or is there perhaps a more decent term.
TIA!

I think they have actual food prepared for the kids. If you compare Google images of "baby feeding area" and "biberonia", they don't seem the same. But I think baby is better than kids as that would suggest older than three as well. It comes from "biberon" but has shifted meaning to something more.
Ellen Kraus Jun 13, 2013:
per lo più si tratta di una sala attrezzata con piastre per scaldare o cuocere, con scalda biberon, sterilizzatore, forno a microonde, frigorifero e lavandino.
Josephine Cassar Jun 13, 2013:
biberon comes from bottle, so really bottle feeding facilities but wonder if it should be baby-changing facilities, as most offer this, not bottle-feeding, unless they mean where breastfeeding can be done in a private place, which would make more sense

baby feeding room

If it's a baby feeding /changing room it's also called a nursing area, but imo biberoneria just refers to feeding, and hygiene regulations require feeding and changing areas to be separate

Nursing Room /or/ Mother and Baby Room

These should cover both the idea of feeding babies and other baby caring tasks. I am sure that a room like this would not just be used literally for feeding baby from bottle.

Either term would work in my opinion. I have seen both used.
Example sentence:

"Teen verbally abuses mother who needed NURSING ROOM in Woodlands library"

"Debenham's (Magdalen Street) has a MOTHER AND BABY ROOM on the 2nd floor: ask an assistant for the key."

La biberoneria

http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2003/luglio/31/Guide_web_...

Qualcuno sa cos' è la biberoneria? E' una delle cose da chiedere alla prenotazione se si ha un bambino tra 0 e 2 anni. Lì troverete frigoriferi con latte, yogurt, succhi di frutta, e fornelli per preparare pappe e biberon.

Lots more such definitions on the net.
