Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2025, as Breastfeeding Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution (K 670) requests Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim August 2025 as "Breastfeeding Awareness Month" in New York State. It directly asks the Governor and the New York State Department of Health to recognize and promote breastfeeding through this annual designation. The resolution cites health benefits for mothers and infants (including reduced disease risks and bonding) but does not create new laws or funding. As a symbolic gesture, it aims to encourage public awareness and education about breastfeeding, aligning with national recommendations.
