There could soon be new rights for breastfeeding mothers in New York State.The New York State Senate has just passed a bill that would require mothers to be informed of breastfeeding options before they deliver -- and while they're in the hospital. The bill would also give mothers the right to refuse any product samples or take-home packets of formula.
The Senate says too many mothers are pressured out of breastfeeding because of the information they receive from formula companies -- despite the health and economic benefits that breastfeeding provides.The bill also passed the House. It now goes to Governor Paterson.
