[Results of a survey on breast feeding in maternal-child welfare centers of the 14th arrondissement of Paris].
An inquiry was held in the 14th ward of Paris, concerning 1 352 infants observed in centres of maternal care, and studying the conditions of breast-feeding. At birth 56% of the metropolitan French children were breast-fed. The frequency was higher in the educated classes, in primiparal and in women who had attended pre-natal relaaxation classes. The effects of these features can be added up. Women who gave birth in a public hospital and women with healthy newborn children were also more likely to be breast-fed. The duration of breast-feeding was not related to previous features. Breast-feeding was more frequent and more prolonged in immigrants than in the French metropolitan population.
