My daughter is doing a HS research paper and has chosen, "The Impact of Breastfeeding on Health Care Costs". She has found numerous articles and books detailing the benefits of BF. (and don't we all know them?), but as far a research showing the actual monetary savings , well, is there any out there? Has anybody found average health care costs for a typical newborn through the first year who is bottle fed vs. a breastfed infant? Or, perhaps the topic is too broad in the first place? Here's your chance to get some questions answered! Let Annie do some of the work for us all. Or would a better slant be the maternal health benefits? or to limit the topic to monetary/health benefits for the first year of life? Please reply to Annie at [log in to unmask] Thanks tina (a really, really proud mama)
