New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's “Latch On, NYC” initiative is encouraging moms to breastfeed instead of giving their newborns baby formula.

Parenting blogger Meredith Carroll says the initiative puts a lot more pressure on new moms who are already stressed out.

"Formula isn’t poison, it isn’t a narcotic that needs to be locked up in a hospital," she told HLN's Evening Express. "It is nourishment for a baby that has been approved by the FDA... I think giving mothers choices and not treating them like children is the way the hospitals need to be going about this."
