To add, because for some reason I'm not seeing anyone really saying it anywhere... the health fears concerning formula feeding are largely unfounded. The best evidence demonstrates that EXCLUSIVE (or nearly exclusive) formula-feeding, shows a statistically significant, yet SMALL, relationship with a MARGINALLY higher probability of MINOR health conditions like allergies and some digestive issues, and virtually no long-term complications for a child's health.

There is no reasonable reason to mandate breastfeeding.
