Breastfeeding:
benefits for the economy
- Breastfed infants need to be hospitalized 1/3 to 1/8 as often
as bottle-fed infants. This translates into major savings in
medical expenses.
- Breastfed infants get sick much less often than bottle-fed
infants. As a result, their parents need to take much less time
off work. This gives rise to substantial savings for
businesses.
- Since breastfed infants tend to be a lot healthier, their
parents are a lot less worried. Thus, they are better motivated
and better able to concentrate on their job.
