does anyone know of any source for the number or 
rate of NEONATAL (<28 days) deaths due to not 
breastfeeding, in the US, or anywhere else the 
developed world?

chen and rogan (2004) did an outstanding job of 
calculating POST-neonatal (>28 days) 
formula-related US deaths, but surely neonatal 
deaths are at least as high, when you consider 
necrotizing enterocolitis etc etc.

thank you all very much,

tina
