1. The preamble to New Jersey's right to nurse in public states "The?
Legislature finds and declares that: the Surgeon General of the ?
United States recommends
that babies from birth to one year of age should be breast fed, ?
unless medically
contraindicated, in order to achieve a healthy start on life; ?
breast milk strengthens the immune system of babies, improves ?
digestion and is of better nutritional value than regular milk; ?
other
benefits include the establishment of a strong mother-baby bond ?
and a potential increase in a baby's IQ level; despite the ?
Surgeon General's recommendation, statistics reveal a declining
number of women are choosing to breast feed their children, and ?
nearly half of all new mothers are now choosing formula over ?
breast milk even before they leave the hospital; the social ?
constraints
of modern society impede a woman's choice to breast feed due to ?
embarrassment,
fear of criminal prosecution and the lack of public acceptance; ?
therefore, it is
in the best interest of the State to recognize breast feeding in ?
places of public accommodation as an important right which must ?
be encouraged in order to promote child health." |
