MOTHERS will be able to breastfeed their children without fear of discrimination under new laws to be introduced by the State Government.
Attorney-General John Hatzistergos announced the laws today, saying he was concerned some mothers - especially those returning to work - stopped breastfeeding because they feared discrimination.
