I can't remember where it is- perhaps Kelly knows but there is a book/article about how if breastmilk was put on some registry in national income it would actually make the country money but because it can't be bought at the corner store so to speak it isn't counted. it comes under some technical term- a money expert would know. I'll try and remember where I read it. Maybe Breastfeeding Matters by MM???
