Abstract
Obstacles in the workplace have led to lower breastfeeding rates. Studies have shown that state supportive laws are related with higher rates, but as of 2009, only 23 states had passed some laws to motivate breastfeeding in the workplace. Prior to the promulgation of the "reasonable rest period" provisions of Patient Protection or Affordable Care Act in 2010, federal laws provided little protection for working mothers. Nevertheless, this regulation still makes many working mothers at a loss what to do. They can pump (not support) children under 1 year old only during the rest period, and exempt small employers who have performance difficulties.
Introduction
Breastfeeding is the natural and most effective way to care for babies. However, breastfeeding in public places is considered to be detrimental for mother to comfortably feed their babies in public places.

The company that produces formula milk has developed goods that resemble all nutrients in breast milk. Nevertheless, breastfeeding can’t be compared with formula milk. If the breastfeeding is supported, then mothers will be able to take care of their babies comfortably in public places, thereby providing them with best nutrition.

Additionally, only breastfeeding for six months can provide the child with the greatest protection. Breastfeeding children are less likely to contract meningitis, ear infections, lower respiratory tract diseases and other infections (Alexander et al.). In addition, if the baby has this disease, the condition will not be so serious. Unlike formula milk, breast milk will provide more protection over time. The protective effect of formula milk is not as good as that of breast milk. When mother's body reacts to pathogens, protection or immunity is passed on to the baby in antibiotic form (Bonzon et al.). Breast milk can also protect children from the allergies. When infants are fed with formula milk, they are likely to obtain allergies from the formula milk powder, which may contaminate the milk during the preparation process (Buckler). The ingredients in breast milk can cause allergies to children. Breastfeeding has the correct composition for children, so children will not develop allergies.
Breast milk is also good for mothers. For example, the motor burns some calories and helps reduce the baby fat gained during pregnancy. Mothers and babies can establish contact. Prolactin is produced during breastfeeding, which can help mothers relax as well as focus on baby. Oxytocin is produced during a breastfeeding; moreover oxytocin produces a strong relationship of love, care and attachment between mother and child (de Jager et al.). On other hand, formula milk does not promote this combination because these hormones are not produced. The combination promoted by breastfeeding is other reason why formulas are not as helpful as breastfeeding.
