Recently, Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Tianjin, took his wife and 3-month-old son back to his hometown in Henan Province, drove 900 kilometers on the highway, parked close to 20 service areas, but did not find a working mother and baby room.

Not long ago, a reporter visited a number of shopping malls, subway stations, hospitals, restaurants, etc. in Beijing and Tianjin, and found that most places did not have maternal and infant rooms. Even if there is a mother and baby room, some of them are mixed with the disabled bathroom, and the smell is strongSome are occupied as utility rooms or smoking rooms;Some mother-and-baby rooms are directly locked and reduced to furnishings.

The humanistic care of a city may be hidden in a small mother and baby room. A well-equipped and warm environment for mothers and babies can give nursing mothers a lot of respect for their personality and avoid making them feel uncomfortable and their privacy is damaged, which reflects the humanistic care for women and infants and young children, and is conducive to improving the travel experience of groups traveling with infants.

The Action Plan for the Promotion of Breastfeeding (2021-2025), jointly issued by 15 departments including the National Health Commission in November 2021, proposes that by 2025, the allocation rate of maternal and infant facilities in public places will reach more than 80%. Now two years have passed, although the number of maternal and infant rooms in many places has increased, the construction and maintenance of maternal and infant rooms are still far from the public's ideal expectations, and there are many shortcomings, which need to be solved urgently.

How to break the embarrassment of not being able to find a working mother and baby room at 900 kilometers of high-speed?First of all, it is necessary to intensify publicity efforts to make the whole society generally aware of the special needs of maternal and infant groups and the importance of setting up maternal and infant rooms. Secondly, clarify the regulatory responsibilities of multiple administrative entities such as transportation, planning, health, and commerce, urge all public places to consciously take responsibility, and arrange special personnel to maintain the environment of the mother and baby room. For those public places where the maternal and infant rooms should be built but not built, built but not used, and the later maintenance is not in place, the relevant departments and units shall be ordered to rectify and punish them according to their functions. Thirdly, improve the relevant laws, raise the equipment and maintenance of maternal and infant rooms in public places to the legal level, incorporate them into mandatory norms, and popularize them as a necessary infrastructure.
