With the release of the three-child policy and the social environment that encourages breastfeeding, the maternal and infant population has become a special group that can not be ignored in society. They need and have the right to own and use public space. At the same time, China's new generation of young mothers is more willing to take their babies into social life as soon as possible to promote their growth. As the commercial space in the city is clean and tidy, with the appropriate temperature, convenient shopping and dining, convenient parking, and complete children's facilities, it has become the first place for mothers to bring their children. However, a series of problems such as the lack of maternal and infant supporting facilities and unreasonable spatial allocation in the current city have led to obstacles to the activities of maternal and infant groups outside. Taking the maternal and infant space in the commercial space as the research object, this paper collates and investigates the distribution of commercial space in Beijing and the relevant information on maternal and infant space in the commercial space. Then, we select 15 typical commercial spaces in Beijing to conduct in-depth research on the location distribution, function setting, and spatial form of maternal and infant spaces. Combined with the current situation and the cognition of the basic behavior law of the maternal and infant population, we take each functional space in the maternal and infant space as a spatial unit, analyze the relationship between each spatial unit, and conduct an integrated study on the spatial types of maternal and infant space, and put forward the basic combination principles of maternal and infant space according to the characteristics of the commercial space, so as to provide feasible suggestions for the rational configuration of maternal and infant space in commercial space.
