Two hundred and six Asian, 99 African, 99 Chinese, and 102 Scottish children from 172 families were studied to ascertain infant-feeding practices. After arriving in the United Kingdom most of the immigrant mothers had not wished to breast-feed their babies because of wrong information or misconceptions about British infant-feeding practices. The Asians had largely adopted British habits of introducing solid foods to their babies' diets, but the habits of the African and Chinese mothers in this respect had changed little. Furthermore, many of the African and Chinese children had received no vitamin preparation. The survey showed that all mothers resident in Britain urgently need advice on some aspects of infant feeding.
对来自172个家庭的206名亚洲儿童、99名非洲儿童、99名中国儿童和102名苏格兰儿童进行了研究，以确定婴儿喂养方式。大多数移民母亲抵达英国后，由于对英国婴儿喂养方式存在错误信息或误解，不想母乳喂养她们的婴儿。亚洲人在很大程度上采用了英国的习惯，在婴儿饮食中引入固体食物，但非洲和中国母亲在这方面的习惯变化不大。此外，许多非洲和中国儿童没有接受过维生素制剂。调查显示，居住在英国的所有母亲在婴儿喂养的某些方面迫切需要建议。
