They are looking for the health costs of the use of formula. I've written to 
ask why breastfeeding is in the title but formula was not and have not heard

Subject: Spam: [LACTNET] costs of breastfeeding

> Karleen, perhaps Baby-Friendly UK wants to do a cost analysis so they can

> Have you written Baby-Friendly UK to ask?
> I would be more worried if it were Avent or Medela doing such an analysis. 
> Baby-Friendly UK are among what I consider the good guys.
