There has been a "lively" thread on the Peds list about breastfeeding.
One point of contention is the Kaiser study that states breastfed babies
"cost" $1400 less in health care costs in the first year (or is it 6 months)
of life.  A pediatriciain on the list said that this studay was flawed - does
anyone know anything about this - and, if it is flawed, what are the real
numbers??
Thanks..........Dianne Kemp, Port Huron, Michigan
