The effects of baby children's feeding on their mortality is known. It is thus interesting to know the cultural context in which bottle-feeding was adopted. In the 1930s, many women in the Eastern Pyrenees abandoned breast-feeding on the advice of their doctor because, they said, they had bad milk that "poisoned" their baby. This idea, widely spread in France at the time, took place within a set of traditional images of maternal milk and its spoiling which referred to ancient and complex beliefs concerning feminine physiology and blood disorders. These ideas were shared by women as well as by doctors until a relatively recent date.
婴幼儿喂养方式对其死亡率的影响是已知的。因此，了解采用奶瓶喂养的文化背景很有意思。在20世纪30年代，东比利牛斯省的许多女性听从医生的建议放弃了母乳喂养，因为她们表示自己的乳汁不好，会“毒害”婴儿。这种观念在当时的法国广泛传播，它出现在一系列关于母乳及其变质的传统意象之中，这些意象涉及到关于女性生理和血液紊乱的古老而复杂的观念。直到相对较近的时期，这些观念在女性和医生中都很普遍。
