Hello all-
Perhaps we should "Watch our Language." Let's Weissinger-ize this statement.
There is NO cost savings of breastfeeding.  Families cannot save any money 
by breastfeeding!  However, they will spend X amount of money on formula 
(and add to that the documented increase in both medical bills and time from 
work if applicable)

It is hard to change the way we have be refering to breastfeeding, but we 
have to keep trying.

Jamelle Lyons, 
who just LLL'd a meeting with the title "advantages of breastfeeding" oops!
