A 2001 study revealed that $3.6 billion could be saved if breastfeeding rates were increased to levels of the Healthy People objectives. It studied 3 diseases and totaled direct indirect costs cost premature death.

Abstract The aim of this study was to quantify the excess cases pediatric and maternal disease, death, costs attributable suboptimal breastfeeding rates in United States. Using current literature on associations between health outcomes for nine five diseases, we created Monte Carlo simulations modeling a hypothetical cohort U.S. women followed from age 15 70 years their children birth 20 years. We examined disease using (a) 2012 (b) assuming that 90% infants were breastfed according medical...

In Brief OBJECTIVE: To estimate the U.S. maternal health burden from current breastfeeding rates both in terms of premature death as well economic costs. METHODS: Using literature on associations between lactation and health, we modeled outcomes costs expected for a cohort 15-year-old females followed to age 70 years. 2002, this included 1.88 million individuals. Monte Carlo simulations, compared if 90% mothers were able breastfeed at least 1 year after each birth with under 1-year rate 23%....

Paid maternity leave benefits all of society, reducing infant mortality and providing economic gains. It is endorsed by international treaties. important for breastfeeding, bonding, recovery from childbirth. Not mothers have access to adequate paid leave.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Hospital routines frequently interrupt nighttime sleep. Sedatives promote sleep, but increase the risk of delirium and falls. Few interventional trials have studied sleep promotion in medical‐surgical units little is known about its impact on sedative use. OBJECTIVE: To determine causes disruption, assess whether decreasing disruptions lowers use patients. DESIGN AND SETTING: Interventional trial with historical controls a unit community teaching hospital. Nurses,...
Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and sudden syndrome (SIDS) prevention has focused on modifying individual behavioural risk factors, especially bedsharing. Yet these deaths are most common among poor marginalized people in wealthy countries, including U.S. Blacks, American Indians/Alaskan Natives, New Zealand Māori, Australian Aborigines, indigenous Canadians, low-income British people. The United States now the world's highest prevalence of SUID/SIDS, where even Whites' SIDS approaches...

A recent study showed that current suboptimal U.S. breastfeeding rates cost the economy $13 billion per year in 2007 dollars for pediatric health and premature death. Cost data of excess maternal disease are not yet published but thought to be substantial. Little is known about other costs.The approximate annual costs many entities impact or impacted by were calculated converted 2010 dollars. Calculations assumed United States went from 90% compliance with medical recommendations. We...
Many studies have documented that breastfeeding is associated with a significant reduction in child obesity risk. However, persistent problem this literature unobservable confounders may drive the correlations between behaviors and weight outcomes.
