Nurses will interpret the rules as they have time. If the rules say NO FORMULA, that's what will happen.

No wonder people find it necessary to bring guards to hospitals these days ~

The rules already say no formula for breastfed infants without medical indication. This is not a new rule. All the "no formula for breastfed infants" provision of this program means is that participating hospitals agree to abide by the already-existing rule.

And, again, this is intended to be a counterbalance to the policy/culture/practice in some hospitals to give formula nearly always (even, as happened with my daughter, when the parents specifically instruct otherwise).
