Breastfeeding: A Great Bargain
Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding is incredibly cost-effective. Think of your LLL membership as an investment in yourself and in your baby’s health.
• Fewer doctor visits, prescriptions, and hospital stays - save up to $1,435 in the first year. (Ball, T.M., Bennett, D.M. The evidence for breastfeeding. Ped Clin NA 2001; 48:1.) • One month of the least expensive formula costs $109. Feeding your baby the most expensive formula costs $236 every month. (Florida Breastfeeding Coalition, 2005) • That adds up to $1,308 for a year’s worth of the cheapest formula, and $2,832 for hypoallergenic and other pricey brands, giving your baby the nutrition that’s always perfect for his changing needs: Priceless.
