[Cessation of breast feeding: mothers exposed to the above-mentioned risk].
We have investigated the incidence of breast-feeding and factors that concerns it, in 135 mothers who gave birth from January to July 1986 in our hospital. 97% of mothers began breast-feeding, but only 42% went on with it at third month of infant's life, and only 9.75% of them at sixth month. The most common reason for breast feeding failure is the "cry baby". The mother's age, the socioeconomic level, the mother-newborn bonding after delivery are related with lengthy breast feeding. In conclusion, the lower social levels are the target for the information in order to promote the breast-feeding.
