I have been studying the difference between breastfeeding and formula feeding in my English class and the bennifets for both the mother and child of breastfeeding are overwhelming and I can't believe a hospital wouldn't want the best for the baby. For example a baby that is formula fed suffer more illness because the formula doesn't contain any antibodies against disease or any white cells to attack germs.

Or at least, not good support. I am glad to hear about programs such as this one that are working to change that. I hope it's indicative of a positive trend, because as they point out premature infants benefit so greatly from breast milk.
