title: Motherhood and infant health in Khartoum.
abstract: The results of an analysis of the growth and illness experience of a group of infants in Khartoum townships illustrate the remarkable benefits of being the infant of a "housewife" rather than the infant of a mother who works. These benefits occurred despite the poorer domestic environments of the housewives.
