In regards to the cost of formula.  We have >1800 deliveries per yr and
>80% initiation rate. We figured our budget by roughly estimating .50c per
bottle/feeding.  Originally the budget was for around $30,000.  We ended up
spending $8400.00 in Mother/Baby and $5000.00 in Peds. last fiscal year.
Our  Level II Nicu is included in the M/B costs. Also saved money using
Capital Vials for EBM instead of Medela Vol-u-feeds and Lansinoh BM Storage
Bags.  Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other info.
