The man is a tyrant, thank God he is only a mayor.
So, how ‘bout the mothers who drink and do drugs? Great nutrition for the babies.
WSJ had a story years back, some mothers bought into the breast feed only propoganda, and their babies suffered brain damage from malnutrition.
Well that won’t sit well with many on FR who get all wigged up about breast feeding as somthing sexual.
pssssdt breast feeding should be encouraged but government involvement hell no!
I think breastfeeding is the way to go, but why is the mayor bothering about this when he’s got regular Mayor stuff to do? Doesn’t anybody stick to their job description any more?
One begins to wonder whether or not this Bloomberg character is... uh... playing with a full deck; in possession of all his marbles; seeding the funny farm, and so on...
Lord have mercy.
Pssst...I think Bloomers has boob envy.
Seems this would fall under the “my body, my choice” thing. If you can’t make a woman use her womb to carry a child, how can you make her use her breasts to feed a child?
Will the “My body, my choice!” feminists be enraged over this?
What happened to, “My body, my choice.”
“mental hygiene commissioner”
Mental hygiene kommissar?
God have mercy on us.

>> maternity wards in New York are going to start locking up their baby formula
Tax-payer funded formula?
So Bloomberg is a Nazi for not handing out supplies?
Breast milk is arguably superior to formula. And labor is far superior to welfare. Barring medical urgency, what’s the problem? I presume a paying customer is not prohibited from purchasing formula.
As the victim of childhood sexual abuse, I was not capable of an act that ‘intimate’ and in my twisted mental make up, sexual in nature. One of the nurses at my Georgia hospital my oldest was born tried to berate me into breastfeeding while in labor! “Don’t you love your baby?” she actually said to me when asking ‘breast or bottle?’ from the form.
A nurse’s aid saw my distress and when the ole biddy left, came and said “You just look at that baby with all the love in your heart when you give her that bottle and she will never know the difference.”
Breastfeeding is a beautiful thing, but it isn’t the ONLY way.
Is this satire? What the heck is a “mental hygiene commissioner”?!
Maybe something’s in the water there in New York such that Bloomberg has a reason to fear feeding infants formula that was made with it. It is certainly driving Bloomberg mad.
