Breastfeeding was the most rewarding experience for me as a mom. Not only was I giving my babies the nutrition they needed, but also able to bond with them in a way no one else could. I nursed my oldest daughter up until 9 months when she weaned herself. To this day, my 4 year old has only been ill once.

The legislature finds that breast-feeding a baby is an important and basic act of nurture that must be encouraged in the interests of maternal and child health and family values. In compliance with the breast-feeding promotion program established under the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. Section 1771 et seq.), the legislature recognizes breast-feeding as the best method of infant nutrition.
A mother is entitled to breast-feed her baby in any location in which the mother is authorized to be.
