22nd October ’24, Bangalore: Child Help Foundation (CHF), a pan-India, non-profit organisation, in collaboration with Bridgenext, inaugurated two Baby Feeding Centres (BFC) at Majestic and Yeshwantpur metro stations in Bengaluru, Karnataka for nursing mothers and infants, becoming the first metro stations in India to have baby feeding centres.
The Baby Feeding Centre (BFC) initiative provides comfortable and private spaces for nursing mothers and their infants, addressing the discomfort many women face when breastfeeding in public. With these centres, mothers can travel freely without worrying about breastfeeding in public spaces.
