My gosh what is next for the nanny statists? I hope moms would breast feed, but it is a choice that moms need to make.
He needs to get out of everybody’s business he’s a real JERK!
Bloomberg is finishing out his third term. He’s facing being a private citizen once again and is trying to build a legacy. So he’s going nuts; they all do.
I’m all for encouraging moms to learn that those aren’t just sweater decorations, and I’m all for reducing the advertising the formula companies get to plaster the new moms with, but I’m not sure I like the City government in charge of it.
Bloomberg is proof Forrest Gump is not fiction!
I thought it was a woman’s right to choose. Oh wait, that’s only if you want to murder your baby. My bad.
NYC is the abortion capitol of the USA. Your baby is more likely to die from an abortion than from being bottle fed.
A city long-noted for crime, drugs, filth, piss-poor public schools and illegal immigrants . . .
And this full-of-himself billionaire worries about formula?
This is why the elites are so out of touch with mainstream Americans and why they must be kept of office from the start or term limited (one term, max.)
This man is insane.
This jerl lives in a make believe world.
Hey New York, How do you like being totally controlled by a MARXIST?
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! LIVE WITH IT!
I agree totally that breastfeeding is best. Better for the baby and mother in both the short and long term. Formula should have never been so commonly used. Only emergencies.
I think it facilitated the demise of the family unit. Baby could be watched by anyone while feminist mom could go out and be a modern woman, smoke virginia slims, shop unencumbered, etc.
As a nurse who works in Peds.I am sick of these fanatics who advocate BF ,to the point in some cases, where you have stressed ,neurotic mothers,who feel they have failed .
BF is not for everyone.It is a choice you dumb ass mayor.
I remember my mom making her own formula for my sister.BF was the preferred choice ,but mom also used a supplement.
Carnation milk,karo syrup,fish oil and vitamins.
Doesn’t he think they might have already come to some decision about this well before they give birth? Good grief, Charlie Brown.
If the conservatives left (if there are any) and were to get together and take over a neighbor city and turned that community loose (meaning little regulations etc) how long does anyone think it would take for that giant sucking sound to really be heard coming out of NYC? I guess its bad now, but how long would it take to suck every last bit of life out of NYC? Months? Years?
Maybe Bloomberg could create a new Bureau of Wet Nurses, you know, government employees whose job is to feed the newborns. Then citizens could begin life actually on the government teat.
Oh great more crack babies. Some of those women you don’t want to breast feed.
Because niether of my kids would latch I ended up pumping the first 18 months of each of their lives. Formula, which has about as much sucrose as coca cola, is a nutritional disaster that also leaves babies without sufficient gut flora. That stated, I don’t give a rat’s behind what other moms feed their kids. What pisses me off are the baby mamas that my school must supply a pumping room to so that they can sell their formula vouchers for cash. Since it’s my money and they chose to use government assistance, baby mamas should have to nurse and also receive no formula vouchers. Rant off!
