Includes all what can and cannot be done in the 50 U.S. states concerning breastfeeding in public. By informing accurate dates and bills, it becomes very easy to diminish what is legal and what is not.

Health professionals and public health officials promote breastfeeding to improve infant health. Both mothers and children benefit from breast milk. Breast milk contains antibodies that protect infants from bacteria and viruses. Breastfed children have fewer ear, respiratory and urinary tract infections and have diarrhea less often.

Basically, breastfeeding in public IS legal in the United States, though sometimes people simply don't know it and therefore might complain about it. This means you can nurse your baby anywhere that you are allowed to be with the baby. Forty-three states (as of 2009) have additionally passed a law that explicitly states that fact.

Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

As a mother who breastfed all four of my children where ever they were hungry, I would shame those who thought they could shame me. My children, my whole family in fact all ages whether they breastfed or not have a respect for a womans body especially when it comes to feeding a child. My kids do not stare or point out or act like its gross when they see a mom feeding her baby. People all around the world whether they breastfeed or not need to teach their kids to respect nature. This way in the future mothers will no longer be shamed when trying to feed their babies.

Its so annoying that people feel like breast feeding a child in public is wrong. This is a natural thing, its a part of life. People just need to grow up and stop seeing it as sexual exposure. Its a beautiful bond between a mother and child.

Breastfeeding is one of the most amazing things women body can do. Our society make it seen like a sexual act....Breast milk is the first healthy food for babies when they are growing up. In hospital, nurses invite patients to breastfeed their newborn because that is the best food for babies.

It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.

It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Nearly weekly there is a news story about a woman being kicked out of an establishment for breastfeeding her baby. Restaurants, public pools, churches, art museums, courts of law, schools, and stores, including Target, American Girl Store, and ironically, Victoria's Secret, are all sites of recent skirmishes over a woman's right to nurse.

In New York City a new law was passed that mandated using breast milk while in the hospital. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is attempting to raise awareness and promote feeding with breast milk as opposed to formula. Breastfeeding has numerous benefits that formula does not offer which is why they are pushing for it to be mandated as the primary form of nutrition for infants.
