BFCI is also co-organized with non-government organizations by Hong Kong Breastfeeding Mothers’ Association and Natural Parenting Network.

BFCI aims to provide management and staff training for public places as well as mothers to promulgate breastfeeding friendly attitudes; BFCI also develops a brand new baby care app, named “Breastfeeding GPS” (bfGPS).

The bfGPS is a brand new user-friendly app which supports and ensures mothers, parents and carers to sustain breastfeeding with the following features:

1. Facilities Locator
This function provides timely, useful and accurate information of the nearest breastfeeding-friendly facilities and premises in the community according to personal needs and preference on breastfeeding facilities.

2. Baby Journal
The app also facilities carers in recording various aspects of their baby care routine, such as feeding, expression, diaper and sleep etc., and their children’s development.

This app requires an Internet connection. Users should be aware that using the app might incur mobile data usage.
