The short answer
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA Terminal 1) has kids play areas in the Satellite Building only, baby rooms with changing facilities and seating, strollers for families, and priority lanes at check-in, security and boarding. Malaysia Airports lists no sensory room, family restroom or family lounge, and gives few exact locations.

KLIA Terminal 1 covers the basics for families but publishes few details. Kids play areas are only in the Satellite Building, so families flying from Contact Pier gates won't pass one. Baby rooms with changing facilities and seating are provided, and strollers are available, though Malaysia Airports doesn't say where or what they cost. Priority lanes at check-in, security and boarding help passengers needing support. Baby milk and baby food can go through security beyond the 100 ml rule. Fast food is easy to find, including Burger King in the Satellite.
