While the nation celebrated Mother's Day over the weekend, many new mothers were crying out for more public nursing rooms to care for their young ones.
A nursing room is a private space for mothers to change diapers, breast-feed, express milk or take a quick rest. A good nursing room should be equipped with infant care tables, basins, chairs and washing facilities so mothers can comfortably take care of their babies.
But mothers say there are too few nursing rooms available. Many mothers have to breast-feed their babies or change diapers in public because of a lack of private rooms.
