Making Life Easier for Mothers and Fathers
I was walking through an underground passage at a subway station in Nagoya the other day, and I saw a large container-like room with a door but no windows. There was an image of a baby bottle and the name “mamaro” on the outside. The explanation said that people should use this room to take care of babies. It can be used to breastfeed, to feed babies formula and other food, and to change diapers. This room can be used by men as well as women. This is a good idea. Until now, public toilets were the only places to take care of babies, but a private space like mamaro should make life easier for mothers and fathers.
