A new study in America has shown the financial benefits to breastfeeding babies, it was reported today.
While the health and bonding aspects of breastfeeding are widely acknowledged, the cost effectiveness should not be underestimated, poetically during the recession, when families are trying to cut costs.
In addition to the costs for families, it is estimated that the health care system spends $13 billion each year treating illnesses which would have been prevented by breast feeding.
