title: [The cult of breast feeding in Serbian medical, sacral and folk historiography].
abstract: The World Week on Nursing, as the most natural infant feeding, was organised in Belgrade in 1994. Nourishment at the breast has been known from time immemorial. The cult of nursing in Serbian medical, religous and traditional culture is great. The role of breast-feeding was emphasized in the ancient Serbian medical literature and many textbooks as well as by many physicians during their lectures and talks. There are also two fresco-paintings with the presentation of a mother nursing her baby, of which one has been used as a motive on a UNICEF postage stamp in 1992.
