The breastfeeding practices of infants in Calgary, Alberta in 1979 and 1980 were studied using annual cohorts. Approximately 63% of infants were breastfed during the 1st week and the proportion did not change significantly during the 1st month. This proportion is higher than in an earlier study in Calgary and surveys in Canada several years ago. Most infants not breastfed during the 1st month were given commercially available infants' formula, and only a small percentage of infants were given cow's milk. The proportion of breastfed infants fell significantly after 3 months, suggesting that encouragement of breast feeding should continue for several months after delivery. |
