Mothers' feeding practices and their attitudes to breast and bottle feeding were investigated. Sixty-four per cent started to breast feed and 35% continued past 2 months, a continuation rate which is higher than previously reported. Also higher than previously reported was the proportion of working class women breast feeding. This may reflect a current trend. Most women decided on their infant feeding technique early in pregnancy, and 80% followed that decision. For those who changed their minds about feeding practice postnatally, and for those who were initially undecided, the hospital was influential. Analysis of women's pleasurable and less restricting than they had anticipated. The results are discussed in relation to attempts to encourage breast feeding.
对母亲的喂养方式及其对母乳喂养和奶瓶喂养的态度进行了调查。64%的母亲开始进行母乳喂养，35%的母亲持续母乳喂养超过2个月，这一持续率高于此前报道。工人阶级女性进行母乳喂养的比例也高于此前报道。这可能反映了当前的一种趋势。大多数女性在怀孕早期就决定了婴儿的喂养方式，80%的人遵循了这一决定。对于那些产后改变喂养方式想法的人，以及那些最初未做决定的人来说，医院起到了重要作用。分析表明，女性感觉比预期更愉快且限制更少。结合鼓励母乳喂养的努力对结果进行了讨论。
