Subject: Previous reference of Kaiser study and decreased medical costs of
         breast-feeding/ It would really help if folks could send me the
actual cost saved per year that was quoted, who did the study and where it
was performed, if it was published - which journal, contact phone
numbers/addresses for the folks who were involved in the study, etc.
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about this post.

              Thanks!

Also could do a search function on Lactnet: cost/savings. I've never done a
search but the directions should be with sign on info.

Good Luck with your project
