Mayor Bloomberg’s infant formula plan aimed at promoting breast-feeding in NYC hospitals
Breast feeding is good for babies in reducing the risk of infection and increasing natural immunity, but surely it is just as important to feed growing children more healthy food and drinks later on too. Perhaps we should lock away the bad fattening foods and not just the baby formula?
Let’s not dictate to women. Breast feeding alone will not save kids from illness if they eat poor food later on.
