Jay -- I don't know whether you were thinking about:

1) The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, 601 Elmwood Ave, Box 777,
Rochester NY 14642 (716)275-4354 (a physician only membership organization
with great newsletter)
or
2) The National Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy, 254 Conant Road,
Weston, MA 02193 (617) 893-3553

Preliminary results of the Kaiser study, which has yet to be published (to
my knowledge) are available at <http://www.greatstar.com/lois/bfh.html>

Miriam Labbok, MD, at Georgetown University, has also calculated cost
savings of BF, which was published in the first issue of the Academy of
Breastfeeding Medicine's newsletter.

Good luck!

Cindy
