[ID] 125 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] I am a nurse in a hospital in downtown Philadelphia. About 85 % of our clientele is on medical assistance. I think the free formula the hospitals give and the free formula that WIC provides is a major deterent from exclusive breastfeeding. I think this needs to be addressed. It costs the govt alot of money to provide the formula and the increased health care costs of medical costs for formula fed babies are higher than that of breastfed babies [Topic]
