Zusammenfassung:A study evaluated the actual feeding pattern of 760 infants during the first 4 months of life. The infants were born from 760 urban educated, well-informed mothers in Dacca City, Bangladesh, with only about 18% delivered at home. Urban home deliveries evidenced a lower breast feeding rate (49%) than rural home deliveries (95%). However, the breast feeding rate of the infants delivered in clinics was even lower (34%). It is concluded that modernization is responsible for the observed decrease in breast feeding incidence.(wz)
