During the International Year of the Child the Manitoba Pediatric Society undertook professional and public education activities to promote breast-feeding in that province. The objective was a 100% increase in the proportion of mothers who breast-fed their infants for 2 months or longer. Surveys conducted before and after the campaign showed no significant increase in the rate of breast-feeding either at the time of hospital discharge or 2 months later. The infants of Winnipeg residents were more likely to be breast-fed than those of women living on Indian reservations or in any other part of the province (termed "rural"). The rate of bottle-feeding was significantly greater among infants of young unmarried mothers. Future programs to promote breast-feeding should be longer and more intensive, should be directed to the young, to rural residents and to Indian women, and should focus on social and emotional factors as well as nutrition and health benefits.
在“国际儿童年”期间，曼尼托巴省儿科学会开展了专业和公众教育活动，以促进该省的母乳喂养。目标是使母乳喂养婴儿达两个月或更长时间的母亲比例提高100%。活动前后进行的调查显示，无论是在出院时还是两个月后，母乳喂养率均未显著提高。温尼伯居民的婴儿比居住在印第安保留地或该省其他任何地区（称为“农村”）的妇女所生婴儿更有可能接受母乳喂养。年轻未婚母亲所生婴儿的奶瓶喂养率显著更高。未来促进母乳喂养的项目应该持续时间更长、力度更大，应该针对年轻人、农村居民和印第安妇女，并且应该关注社会和情感因素以及营养和健康益处。
