Dr W H Davis outlines that bottle feeding raises infant death rates, while breast feeding lowers deaths. If Boston babies were all bottle fed the death rate would rise from 104 to 178 per thousand. all breast fed would drop to 68. The city logged 2044 infant deaths last year, meaning breast feeding saves about 1450 lives annually.
