Very few people are really in this situation, but I can discuss this with you if you are.
Remember a sick-baby visit at the physician's office can cost anywhere between $100-150 and your infant will be seen for 10-15 minutes at best. Breastfeeding helps your baby stay healthy and can help avoid these costs.
Breastfeeding decreases the occurance and severity of ear, nose, throat, and lung infections. This means less doctor's and hospital visits, less work absenteeism, and a healthier, happier baby.
