Twenty-five Bangladeshi families in Tower Hamlets and 25 Caucasian families in East Berkshire were studied to ascertain infant weaning practices. Among the Bangladeshi families there was a high incidence of late weaning, use of sweet convenience foods low in iron and protein, predominant milk drinking, late conversion from bottle to cup, and very late progression onto 'family' foods. Conversely, the families studied in East Berkshire were found to follow the 1980 DHSS guidelines for the weaning of infants. The results of the survey indicated that there is an urgent need for effective education on infant weaning in this community of Tower Hamlets.
对伦敦塔哈姆雷特自治市的25个孟加拉家庭和东伯克郡的25个白人家庭进行了研究，以确定婴儿断奶的做法。在孟加拉家庭中，断奶较晚、食用铁和蛋白质含量低的甜味即食食品、主要饮用牛奶、从奶瓶改用杯子较晚以及向“家庭”食物过渡非常晚的情况发生率很高。相反，发现东伯克郡研究的家庭遵循1980年卫生与社会保障部关于婴儿断奶的指导方针。调查结果表明，在伦敦塔哈姆雷特自治市这个社区，迫切需要对婴儿断奶进行有效的教育。
