With the popularization of breastfeeding knowledge, the concept of "good breastfeeding" has been recognized by more and more young mothers, and many working women have become "breast-sucking families" in order to insist on breastfeeding.
However, because many work units do not have private and hygienic nursing places, or the milk squeezed out cannot be properly kept; It is often difficult to find a mother-infant room in public places, which leads many lactating mothers to face the dilemma of nowhere to breastfeed. The low penetration rate of maternal and child facilities has become one of the important factors that affect breastfeeding mothers' adherence to breastfeeding.
