This is an excellent resource:

UK statistics here, but useful to extrapolate from if all else fails, as 
the USA rates of disease are usually slightly higher:  
http://www.theecologist.org/archive_detail.asp?content_id=586

As the UK health system has a cost saving investment on breastfeeding, 
there is an increasing availability of sets of statistics showing the 
disease rates, and therefore costs/savings to be found between 
formula/breastfeeding - so may be worth looking at NHS stuff for your 
presentational evidence.  I imagine the same might be said of the 
Australian and Canadian health care systems... perhaps INFACT Canada may 
help on that?  http://www.infactcanada.ca/

As a teacher who has specialised in learning and lesson planning, I've 
made an offer to help support anyone on LactNet who is doing any 
teaching or presentations, on how to construct tailored plans for your 
audience and hoped for outcomes.  If you (or anyone else) wants such 
help - just email me.  :-)

(Yes, Ivy Tech, that includes y'all,... but there is only one of me.. ;-))
