| I have to say that I also never bothered with nursing rooms when b/f my son in HK....I fed wherever and whenever he needed feeding. There is always a starbucks or pacific coffee close enough to wherever you happen to me.
Once in desperation I b/f my son on the MTR....it was the Tung Chung line so quiet compared to the rest of the MTR.
I didn't find that many people stared...in fact most of the time I b/f my son in public few people seemed to notice, and if they did and felt uncomfortable well that unfortunetly is their problem.
I did find giggling local teenagers annoying....but looking back it is probably the first time they had ever seen a baby b/f (sad but true)! I soon got over them too.
Personally I think if a room is called a 'nursing rm,' well then nursing mothers should have priority....I agree that people shouldn't be uncomfortable with b/f in public but people undoubtedly are and if nursing rms encourage more women to b/f then so b it.
Not sure why a toddler needs to be fed formula in a a nursing rm.  |
