If fiscal conservatives ever want to be a majority in this country this isn't the way to get there. It is the reason the "Tea Party," movement will only hurt the conservative movement in the long run.

Obviously it doesn't mandate breast feeding...it mandates TIME OFF which means these women could be boozing it up earlier than usual and simply bottle feeding the babies. Also, why don't you answer the part where the jungle gym part? My guess is not only is it a waste of taxpayer money but it could cause more injuries therefore negating any positive health savings. Jennifer Ritchie + Michael Inglut = clueless. Also please factor in lost productivity for companies in terms of dollars and cents as well for your breastfeeding "savings".

The USDA has stated that a minimum of $3.6 billion dollars would be saved per year if breastfeeding rates were increased. Lower health costs for companies – Aetna estimates savings of $1,435 on medical claims per breastfed baby per year. CIGNA reports annual saving of $240,000 per year in health care costs and $60,000 per year through reduced absenteeism. Here’s some ifo for you Mattera!
