“…Some states require shopping malls, airports and public service centers to provide areas for breastfeeding (NCSL 2020 ). A recent survey shows that only 77% of US airports display information on accesses to lactation rooms (Lee et al 2019 ). In China, the National Health Commission requires that baby care rooms with an area no less than 10 m 2 should be provided at transportation hubs, commercial centers, hospitals, tourist attractions and other public places either wider than 10,000 m 2 or with more than 10,000 visitors per day (NHC 2016 ).…”

Background: Mothers need a place in public spaces where they can comfortably breastfeed and care for their babies. The availability and design features of these places are critical for meeting mothers’ safety and comfort needs while they are breastfeeding. Aim: This study was conducted to examine mothers’ experiences with breastfeeding places in public spaces. Methods: This study, which was planned as a phenomenological research, one of qualitative research designs, was conducted with mothers ( n = 18) with breastfeeding experience in public places. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire developed by the researchers. The thematic analysis method was employed to evaluate the data. Results: Study findings were examined under two main themes and 12 subthemes. Getting to the breastfeeding place was actually enough for many of the participants. Women who could not breastfeed for any reason in breastfeeding places stated that they came up with some solutions, such as breastfeeding in the car, feeding with formula, and not taking the baby with them. Participants’ basic expectations about the breastfeeding place were that it met cleanliness, hygiene, privacy, and ventilation conditions. Conclusions: It was found that women who tended to spend more time in public spaces recently encountered similar problems during the breastfeeding process. Breastfeeding environments should meet minimum standards such as cleanliness and privacy as well as having the necessary comfort, aesthetics, and decoration features.
