> I'm writing a health policy brief for my Health Policy class and am
having trouble finding the figures on what it would cost to purchase infant
formula in a hospital. I know I have seen figures before, but of course, now
I can't remember where.
I need a good reference to go with the figures.
If anyone has this info can you post it please. Thanks much Jane Ciaramella<


Have a look at http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/_files/n34.pdf open the
chapter entitled encourage and support breastfeeding.  In a late section of
that chapter there is a reference to the cost of artificial feeding and I
think there is a reference to a study that gives the info you are looking
for. I remebered because it uses USD in an Australian document and I
wondered how many Aussies reading it would take the time to make the
conversion.
