New mothers at Yokota Air Force Base Japan now have a cozy, comfortable and private nursing room (lactation room) for breastfeeding and taking care of their newborns thanks to the efforts of the 374th Medical Group’s staff and Red Cross volunteers.

The new breastfeeding room will serve any new mother to visit the hospital and members of the hospital staff; it is located on the second floor of the hospital in room 258, between the Multi-service Inpatient Unit and Same Day Surgery.

This is part of an ongoing effort to increase us military nursing rooms and support for nursing mothers.
