I think it's wonderful that New York City hospitals have undertaken the "baby-friendly" cause, and teaching and educating new moms about breastfeeding is crucial. The 79 hospitals who have received this certification surely have much to be proud of.
I wonder, however, about those moms who cannot or choose not to breast feed, for whatever reason. Do they also feel at home in these hospitals, or are they made to feel somehow inferior for not being able to or not choosing to breast feed?
