Why have freedoms when we have a nanny state dictating everything that is good for us?
Lord Bloomberg knows what is best for all!
There’s a FEDERAL GOAL to have 70 percent of newborns breastfeeding?
This sh!t is out of control!
Nanny State PING!
How’s it feel, Leftists?
I want to see a news organization go back and review the people they interviewed during the whole soda controversy garbage and ask them their opinion on this breastfeeding thing.
I’d bet that those in favor of the soda size ban are against the breastfeeding mandate. Bloomberg’s a raging moron.
How about limiting abortions? Newbies need boobies!
and thus the Boobs for Bloomberg campaign begins...
Even the brainless can stagger into a right way.
I don’t understand why people don’t understand what is going on here.
Who is government: Mayor
Who are the ones providing swag bags, free samples, get started kits: Private industry
Government is simply continuing to destroy private industry.
Who’s thirsty?

Wake up critizing parents. Healthcare is no longer your choice. It is for the far wiser members of the political class to decide what is best for you proles.
Now kindly shut up, go back to work and pay your taxes.
BS. The the way things are currently "interfer[es] with their health choices." My daughter was born in a NYC hospital that was (apparently) not participating in this program. My wife wanted to breastfeed, and told the nurses that if my daughter needed to eat when she was in the nursery, the nurses were to come get my wife to feed her. That lasted until the nurses neglected to pass along that instruction to the next shift. Instead, the nurses on the next shift (overnight) simply gave our daughter formula, against our stated wishes. They didn't do it for any medical reason, but rather simply because formula feeding was the default way they did things there. Had this program been in effect, that never would have happened.
There are a lot of misconceptions about this program - it is not a mandate, and it does not restrict parents' choices. If anything, it simply acts as a counter-balance to the tremendous resources formula companies pour into advertising within hospitals, giving away samples to hospitals, etc. (heck, the "nursing workshop" held by this hospital was run by a Similac employee).
WHAT???
You cannot have little infants getting breastfed without testing first.
I volunteer as official tester!!!! :)
I see a rise in midwife activity.
Next Gloomberg will outlaw quickdraw bras, then bras in general.
Yeah. Because one of the basic functions of government is being in charge of breastfeeding. It's right up there with defense and foreign policy.
You can't make this stuff up.
Bloomturd needs to be tarred and feathered. PERIOD!
