A preliminary design of lactating chair : an ergonomics approach
This project investigates the effect of position applied during breast feeding to the mothers. Most of the mothers prefer to breastfeed their babies while sitting and they tend to have back pain or other pains because of there is no chair in the market specialize in that purpose.
