Why is New York City trying to hide formula from new parents?
I formula-fed my daughter, starting from the first hour of her life. I loved it. And I would do it again. Do you hear me,Mayor Bloomberg?
New York City already has an aggressive program to promote breastfeeding called Latch On NYC, and the city’s health department has convinced most hospitals to stop distributing free formula samples to new parents. But that apparently still made it possible for some mothers to bottle-feed their newborns. So starting September 3, the city will urge hospitals to put formula under lock-and-key. Parents who want to bottle-feed their infants will have to convince a nurse to sign out formula for them by giving a medical reason for every bottle. They’ll also have to endure a lecture about why they really should be breastfeeding instead.

“Latch On NYC” is perhaps the most literal government program I’ve ever heard of.
