Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that the popularity of breast-feeding, expressed in terms of the frequency with which it is taken up, and the length of time it is continued, is declining, and that, especially among populations of the Third World, the implications of this decline for infant health are likely to be serious and far reaching.Keywords
