| The launch of this service enables a space for mothers to breastfeed their babies and parents to feed their children in a place specially designed for it | The Murcia City Council has opened this morning the first municipal lactation room in the municipality.
It is located in the Municipal Building of Abenarabi.
The implementation of this service enables a space for mothers to breastfeed their babies and fathers to feed their children in a place specially designed for it.
The facility may be used by parents regardless of whether or not they are municipal workers.This measure is part of the commitment of the Government Team to make public services available to all citizens to increase the tools that promote conciliation.This project starts from the Department of Social and Family Rights.
Its owner, Pilar Torres, attended the premiere of the service today.
He explained that "the reconciliation of family and work life is one of the objectives for which we work in the Government Team.
The opening of this municipal lactation room is a very important advance to help working parents in the municipality who have babies in your care.
"Equal Opportunity PlanThe implementation of this municipal lactation room is one of the measures included in the II Plan for Equal Opportunities Between Men and Women developed by the Municipal Government.
One of its main lines of action is the creation and / or adaptation of spaces in municipal buildings open to the public for the care of minors between 0 and 3 years old.The Abenarabi Building is the headquarters of the Department of Sustainable Development and Huerta, Fomento; Commerce, Markets and Public Roads; and Seniors, Disability and Development Cooperation.
The nursing point is an intimate space that is specially conditioned to feed babies in a quiet and comfortable place.
The City Council has invested more than 10,000 euros for its implementation.5.6 square meters of surfaceThe structure that houses the lactation room is made of stainless steel and covers an area of ??5.6 square meters.
Its height is 1.5 meters.
The interior is bolted and fixed to the ground by means of anchor plates.In addition, an interior wall separates the lactation area from the sanitary elements.
Separation is achieved by mechanized two-color flame retardant polyethylene bolted to the supporting structure.The space has a laminated glass enclosure along the entire perimeter and a tempered glass door.
Outside, an anti-graffiti vinyl has been placed with a logo that indicates that the passenger compartment is a nursing point.Top opening for air to recycleThe service is open at the top so that the air is recycled.
In order to make the space as operational as possible for mothers and fathers, a nursing chair, a microwave, a baby changing table, a hermetically closed wastebasket and other sanitary items have been installed inside.The Government Team intends to install more municipal lactation rooms in other units.
The Moneo Building, the headquarters of the Town Hall in La Glorieta and the municipal building located in Plaza Europa are some of the places being considered.The measure can also be extended in the future to other rooms that have public service areas, as is the case in the Abenarabi Municipal Building.
