Subject: NNF - Breast Feeding is Still Best

> Today's Topic: Breast Feeding is Still Best
>
> Nutrition educators have long said that breast feeding of infants is
> superior to formula feeding for a variety of reasons, including
> better health for the babies.  The April 1999 issue of the Journal of
> the Ambulatory Pediatric Society presents a study that puts this
> advantage into a dollar figure.
>
> Two thousand healthy newborns in Scotland and Arizona were studied
> for three illnesses common in babies: ear infections, respiratory
> infections and diarrhea.  The 1,000 children who were never breast
> fed experienced 2,000 extra office visits, 200 more days of
> hospitalization and 600 more prescriptions for these three
> conditions.  The additional health care costs in the first year of
> life ranged from $330 to $475 per infant.
>
> HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Better health for babies is only one
> reason that nursing is better than formula feeding.  While exclusive
> breast feeding is better, some nursing is better than none.  Early
> on, antibodies are transferred in milk from the mother to the child
> before the baby's system is producing them.
