dc.description.abstract | decline in the incidence of breast-feeding in many developing nations
\--as been recorded in recent years, often in conjunction with (a) rapid
changes in way of life, (b) migration from rural to urban,- centers, (c)
incorporation of women into the labor force (especially in industry), and
(d) increase in stress, anxiety, and violence in transitional and modern
societies. The marked decline in incidence and duration of breast-feeding
throughout the world is a matter of international concern. The
importance of breast-feeding, particularly in developing societies, stems
from its health-promoting effect, as it provides the best food known for
infants, protects the child against a variety of debilitating infectious processes, and encourages attachment between mother and infant.'
Furthermore, successful breast-feeding indirectly reduces the ills of bottle-
feeding, especially in developing nations, as epidemiological observation
in many countries has revealed that early weaning is often associated
with severe infant malnutrition, neglect, child abuse, abandonment,
and premature death | es_ES |
