title: Early feeding practices and subsequent childrearing attitudes of French-Canadian women.
abstract: 95 French-Canadian women took part in a study of the relationships between early feeding practices (bottle-feeding, breast-feeding) and subsequent childrearing attitudes (control, hostility/rejection). Possible effects of maternal age, sex of child, and socioeconomic status were considered. Maternal control was negatively related to socioeconomic status and duration of breast-feeding, whereas maternal hostility/rejection was negatively associated with length of breast-feeding.
