When an infant is breastfed, the family saves approximately $1,500/year in direct costs for feeding supplies and formula. The family also saves indirect costs related to fewer medical bills and fewer lost days of work because the infant is healthier (USDHHS, 2011). When employers supported breastfeeding, they received a $3 return for every
$1 invested in a lactation program. Reduced turnover rates led to cost savings in recruitment and training, less absenteeism, and reduced costs for health insurance claims (United States Breastfeeding Committee [USBC], 2013).
