Breastfeeding in Hong Kong
Hong Kong hospitals have started to
promote breastfeeding though some of them just got the idea (putting up
breastfeeding posters or encourage verbally) but their hospital policies are
not encouraging at all. Do watch out.
As for breastfeeding in public, it's still a no-no or taboo.
About 10 years ago, the famous
Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong has got
themselves into trouble by interfering a lady from breastfeeding her baby in
the coffee shop. On the other hand, 'Mother Care' - a baby clothes and accessories shop in Hong Kong do provide
nursing and nappy changing room. Some major shopping malls like IFC
has nursing and nappy changing facilities in ladies' room, and so is ikeas.
