The latest city to adopt a special breastfeeding-friendly feature is Pingxiang in East China. A total of 10 Chinese buses are now equipped with special "breastfeeding seats", which are situated near the bus door and have pink curtains that nursing moms can draw around them for privacy. Other passengers can take the seat if it's empty, but the moment a mother carrying a baby gets on the bus, the driver will advise them to vacate it. By adding breastfeeding-friendly amenities like this, the Chinese government aims to raise breastfeeding awareness. Only 28 percent of babies under six months of age are exclusively breastfed, according to the World Health Organization's 2013 survey. (facebook.com/cctvnewschina)

So I'm going to have to delay the tour," she said via a video post on Twitter. She asks everyone’s understanding because "I have to rest up, doctor's orders," she added, promising to continue the tour as soon as she possibly can.
