wcbstv.com - NYC Health Officials Move To Get Babies Off Bottle
I have heard the term "Nanny State" before, but until now I never fully understood that it was literally true.

(CBS) NEW YORK First they moved against smoking, and then trans fats. Now, city health officials are taking on the bottle -- as in a baby's bottle. On Tuesday they announced a new campaign to promote breastfeeding instead of using formula. Baby bottles beware. City hospitals don't want you around. Instead, they want infants to eat at Mom's instead. "We're producing it. Why not give it to the baby," new mother Mashia Nelson said. The push toward breastfeeding means a ban on freebie formula when you leave the hospital.
