*Note that although there are a lot of mothers nowadays who breastfeed in public, there also some older Chinese in the city who may still find breast feeding in public as taboo so just in case, please ensure proper coverups are available with you and that you show proper decorum. This means show minimal skin as possible and worst come to worst; please use your baby's blanket, if you do not have a nursing top with you.
**Also note that to encourage nursing, the Hong Kong government has also provided baby care facilities in some government offices/premises. They've published a list of these facilities here.
