The Health Department’s mobile nursery was purchased for the promotion of breastfeeding among women.  The mobile nursery has been helpful as a rest stop and changing station at the Wayne County Fair, Cisne Reunion, Wayne City Bean Days, Fairfield Fall Fun Fest, and DuQuoin State Fair. 

Over 400 people stopped by for handouts, diaper changes, or to ask questions.  Approximately 30 moms stopped by to breastfeed their babies, and one mom came by several times to breastfeed her eight- month old twins.  Comments included: "Nice to have a clean place to change my baby" and "Thank you for thinking of breastfeeding moms!"
