I know a low-income stay-at-home mom that said, "Why would I breastfeed when I get
plenty of free formula from WIC?" She gets so much formula that she gives her
4-year old chocolate milk with formula in it once a day to use more of it up.

Uh, hmmm, but isn't BFing a lot less expensive than FFing? I don't get it.
