If anyone has a favorite dollar based health care savings due to breastfeeding
statistic, please let me know.  Our ILCA affiliate (NYLCA) is working on New
York's block grant committee and need some ammunition.  I am trying to gather
up things like the savings in otitis media visits/meds; diabetes cases; breast
cancers prevented.  I can easily find relative risk studies, but assigning a
dollar value to these conditions is tough.
Thank you all.
