Someone please turn this around for me - According to a study conducted by
the University of California at Los Angeles, which examined the CIGNA
Working Well Moms program, breastfeeding mothers experienced a  77 percent
reduction in lost work time due to infant illness (74 fewer absent days/100
mothers who exclusively breastfed their infants).

What increase in lost work time can be attributed to more infant illness
among the nonbreastfeeders?
