A Marine Wives Club program offering breast-milk feeding to navy families has a new headquarters after the opening of a permanent center at Phramaha Jessadaratchao Camp.
The Mother’s Breast Milk Center opened March 21 in a newly built building at the Marine Corps headquarters, offering the club both office space and room for 12 lactating volunteers to breast feed navy children.
Officials and mothers are excited about opening the new Marine Wives Club’s Mother’s Breast Milk Center.
Abbott Wisatsutakorn and nine other monks from Samae San Temple opened the facility with a blessing ceremony.
Cmdr. Kanchana Thongruang, president of Marines Wives Club, said the breast-feeding program has been offered since 2008. Until now, however, activities have been held in smaller temporary offices. Seeing the popularity of the program, Rear Adm. Sonthaya Noichaya ordered a dedicated facility built last July.
