If you saw a lot of boob on the Star Ferry yesterday, it was all for a jolly good reason.
Around 50 mothers staged a demonstration by breast feeding their babies on the boat.
The gathering was held in a bid to raise awareness of the need for women to breast feed their children and their right to do so in public places.
Organised by Facebook group Mama Milk Baby Alliance, the gaggle got together at Central Pier before boarding the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui and proving collectively that breast is best.
According to the Department of Health, only 13 percent of Hong Kong mothers choose to breast feed their babies, compared to the 40 percent global average.
A government consultation that ended last month proposed banning milk formula companies from making outlandish claims, such as their product will make kids smarter.
The World Health Organisation says babies should be breast fed exclusively for six months and partially until they’re two to promote better health in childhood and a lesser chance of obesity in adulthood.
