I remember reading the following stat, but I don't know the source. If anyone
does know the source, I would love to have it to make sure that I have these
numbers correct.
Out of every 1000 babies that are bottle-fed in the 1st 4 months of life, 77
are hospitalized. Out of every 1000 babies that are breastfed in the 1st 4
months of life, 5 are hospitalized.
