[ID] 633 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] Hospitals need to be held to a higher standard when it comes to breastfeeding support. They should have comfortable, private areas for mothers to feed their newborns when they are in the nursery and/or NICU. As a breastfeeding mother who was discharged before my newborn I was forced to sit in a hard chair in the middle of the nursery where anyone could see in order to attempt to nurse my son. Hospitals should also implement other procedures for feeding babies besides with bottles. I understand that my son had to be fed formula in order to help flush out the bad things, but I didn't want him to have a bottle and that was my only option. [Topic]
