B eing a parent a three kids. My wife never breast fed any of them and they have gorwn to be great people.
This is a total waste of money, it should be up to the woman if she wants to breastfeed - who will benefit out of it - no one.
This money could be used for something useful. Even the college of midwifery is against it.
What should happen is that the government should give mothers an incentive of free baby milk from shops which is expensive.
To me a total waste of money.

no, they're not....

But midwives have warned that financial reward should not be the main motivation for women to breastfeed.....
....Janet Fyle, professional policy adviser at the Royal College of Midwives, said: "Whilst we are not against financial incentives for the right reasons, there is a much bigger social and cultural problem here that needs to be tackled instead of offering financial incentives for mothers to breastfeed.
"In many areas, including those in this study, there are generations of women who may not have seen anyone breastfeeding their baby, meaning it is not the cultural norm in many communities.
"The motive for breastfeeding cannot be rooted by offering financial reward.
"It has to be something that a mother wants to do in the interest of the health and well-being of her child."

they think it shouldn't be the only reason - they do not state they are 'against it'.
