As someone mentioned, it has been in the news the last couple of days
that bf babies in the US are 20% less likely to die in the first year.
After reading Diane Wiessinger's "Watch Your Language," I wanted to
know what that statistic would be like if turned around to reflect that
bf is normal and formula is risky:  Artificially fed babies are
actually 25% more likely to die in the first year than babies who are
breastfed.  I can show my math if people would like (actually it is my
dad's math, to be honest!).
