Dr. Allan ZEMAN, GBS, JP
Chairman
The Ocean Park Corporation
Dear Dr. Zeman,
As the Hong Kong People’s theme park, Ocean Park has its corporate responsibility towards both the environment and the community. We, as part of Hong Kong, would like to raise your attention to the following areas:
Lack of Breastfeeding Facilities
Often (Frequently) , we receive complaints from breastfeeding families the difficulties to finding a place to breastfeed their babies inside Ocean Park; not only the limitation of nursery rooms service the vast area covered by the Park, but the unclear signage directing visitors to these facilities is poor .
Nursery Rooms Facilities Lagging Behind Standard
Though the improved number of nursery rooms in Aqua City are praised, where rooms are spacious, well equipped with baby changers, efficient hand cleaning and drying facilities as well as bottle warmers. However, there is one very crucial item missing, of which is highly importantly for user – Chairs and Benches ! Can you imagine a Mum with handful (baby and the hand carry), having to breastfeed her baby for 20-30 minutes by STANDING ! If I may suggest, that an input of comfortable sitting to provide all Mum to breastfeed their baby in these nursery rooms will highly appreciated.
Inappropriate Signage for Nursery Rooms
It is rather misleading by current signage that the nursing rooms are for nappy changing only (a picture is attached at the end of this letter). Otherwise, it would be helpful to see modified signage in the Park, reflecting full functions to these nursery rooms - including breastfeeding.
Please kindly refer to attached Practice Note from Building Departments on Provision of Babycare Rooms, a signage suggestion is provided in Appendix A.
Ocean Park earned its name and credit from years of contribution in public service; Mr. Zeman is known by general public a dynamic business man, a creator with open mind and willingness to listen, and this is why I am writing this letter of suggestion to you with confidence.
The removed of formula milk from shelves earlier on this year display clearly the concern and caring you have put into account - which raised respect from majority of families locally and from overseas.
I am certain that, with further efforts to improve above said aspect, Ocean Park will claim only more international applause, probably a title of pioneer to create a baby-friendly image to worldwide.
Should you be interested more information about the needs of breastfeeding families, please kindly visit our website (www.breastfeeding.org.hk [4]) or contact us via email.
Yours faithfully,
Millie Wong
Chairlady
Hong Kong Breastfeeding Mothers’ Association
