Military installations in Hawaii and elsewhere are creating undue stress and burden on families by refusing to allow mothers to breastfeed their babies. Mothers should not be required to go to a special breastfeeding room, wear a cover while breastfeeding, or be otherwise disturbed from feeding their babies as needed when needed as this violates federal law.
Federal law states: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a woman may breastfeed her child at any location in a Federal building or on Federal property, if the woman and her child are otherwise authorized to be present at the location.
