I know nothing about medical law, but I hope they can do something like this. They essentially treated her like a criminal and clearly caused a lot of emotional damage.

True, but they didn't do anything to her. They ADVISED her not to breastfeed, and noted when she went AMA (against medical advice), but let her do so.
Arguably, the only thing they did without consent was drug test the child, but I bet they consented. She consented to her own drug tests. All of them.
