Local Abstract: [PIP] Practices limiting breast feeding and weaning in the Philippines, Mexico and the U.S. as reported in recent literature are reviewed. In the Philippines, folk wisdom suggests that women cease breast feeding when feeding is delayed and milk has sat in the breast too long, or when they are under stress, for fear of causing diarrhea. A detailed study of the principles certain Mexican Indian women follow for weaning showed that 1) colostrum was considered unnourishing; 2) babies should be weaned when teeth erupt; 3) prolonged breast feeding spoils the child; 4) mother's milk should not be given with food so weaning should not be done gradually; 5) mothers should stop nursing when they become pregnant; 6) lactating and pregnant women should avoid stress; 7) animal milk is unhealthy. Mexican women used their judgment in applying these ideas. Studies in the U.S. found that duration of breast feeding was negatively correlated with use of formula regularly in the first month, with feeding sterile water in the hospital, and with lower paternal education. Some reasons mothers gave for stopping nursing were: return to work, infant rejected the breast, lack of sufficient milk. Social support, especially by breast feeding classes, and starting breast feeding within 2 hours of birth were associated with long duration of breast feeding. - Publication Date: Date Created: 19860301 Date Completed: 19860516 Latest Revision: 20190214
