“I want too make an area for nursing moms to go where they feel comfortable nursing or pumping breastmilk for their babies, and let moms know that they are well come to come breastfeed their children when they are able too. This will help both the parents and the staff to care for the infants in a stronger way. It lets the parents know they are welcome at all times, and it lets the children with separation issues know that mom will be in and out and can also help create a bond with the caregiver. It will also create a healthier eating habit for the infants.”
