NPR’s ‘Tell me more’ discusses New York City’s bag ban

NPR reported on New York City’s new policy in a conversation with Kim Gande, president of NOW, and Faye Wattleton, president of the Center for the Advancemet of Women, and followed up with a round table discussion with the Mocha Moms. Gande and Wattleton emphasized broader cultural obstacles to breastfeeding, and dismissed Bloomberg’s bag policy as a “band-aid” rather than a solution. Like many commentators, they were unaware of data from dozens of randomized controlled trials showing that commercial discharge packs undermine breastfeeding.
