In the waiting room of a private clinic in Delhi are two cubicles with a board that reads: Breastfeeding Room. Dedicated nursing rooms offer a stress-free space,” says Dr Anuja Shrivastava of Genesis Hospital, Delhi, which has four such rooms. Speaking to DNA, a Nestle India spokesperson said the plan is to provide 1,000 such private rooms across 150 cities. Dr Gangal believes that Maharashtra’s nursing rooms concept is a model for other states to emulate. Among the various reasons, it also lists lack of support as an issue discouraging breast-feeding, which includes lack of nursing rooms.
