Data relating to infant feeding practices were obtained by a 6 week postnatal questionnaire from 459 women who participated in a randomised controlled trial of social support in pregnancy. They represented a 90% response rate from 507 women with a past history of a low birth weight baby before the index pregnancy. Thirty-nine per cent of the babies weighing more than 2500 g were breast fed completely. Women who experienced a delay of more than half an hour between birth and first suckling, and those who were given pethidine during labour breast fed for a shorter period, as did those who gave complementary bottle feeds. By considering the women's reasons for discontinuing or not initiating breast feeding, this paper suggests that improved social support from health professionals and others in the postnatal period can increase breast feeding success rates.
通过产后6周问卷调查，从459名参与孕期社会支持随机对照试验的女性那里获取了与婴儿喂养方式相关的数据。她们是507名在本次妊娠前有低体重儿病史的女性中的90%的回应者。体重超过2500克的婴儿中有39%完全采用母乳喂养。出生与首次哺乳间隔超过半小时的女性、分娩期间使用哌替啶的女性以及采用奶瓶补充喂养的女性，母乳喂养的时间较短。通过考虑女性停止或未开始母乳喂养的原因，本文表明，产后来自健康专业人员和其他人的更好的社会支持可以提高母乳喂养成功率。
