Breastfeeding Law?

I think that breastfeeding is a good idea. As a man, I have no personal experience with the time commitment etc. that it takes to breastfeed.

My personal experience is limited to making sure that all the necessary accoutrements for gathering, storage and preservation of breast milk are present. The other thing I can say is that both my kids were breastfed and they have, so far, both been really healthy.

I know they didn't get as many infections as formula fed kids, but I can't sit here and say empirically that it was due to them being breastfed. I disagree that there should be a "law" but I do think it should be "strongly encouraged" whenever it's possible.
