Dear Folks:
  The original Kaiser-Permanente study included some babies that had birth
defects, which inflated the cost savings. When Christine Hoey redid the
calculations, there was still a $250/year savings for babies that were
breastfed 6 months or longer.This was published in the American Journal of
Managed Care, in June 1997. Warmly, Nikki Lee
