&gt; Breastfeeding gives the child more nutrients than formula and helps the immune system, so no breastfeeding = no extra benefits like that.

It can also be incredibly painful and can cause a lot of stress to the mother (this is not a good thing for the baby) even with the absence of any medical reasons. Enforcing vaccinations fair enough, promoting breastfeeding fair enough but creating a legal requirment to breastfeed is obscene.

Edit: I'm saying this as the father of a breastfed baby, it can take months to properly establish and can be brutal until that point. To say that a woman who may or may not have a good support network around her, must breastfeed is barbaric. The thing that often kept my partner going was the knowledge that she could choose to stop at any point if it got too much for her.
