The lack of breast-feeding among mother-infant dyads utilizing public sector clinics in Los Angeles is presented in this brief study. Whereas the middle and educated classes have begun a resurgence of breast-feeding, this renaissance is missing among the poor. Awareness, health education (by peer advocates), early intervention and reassurance by all levels of health providers is suggested to prevent the dissolution of the lactation bond among the population least apt to breast-feed.
本简短研究展示了洛杉矶利用公共部门诊所的母婴二元组中母乳喂养率低的情况。虽然中产阶级和受过教育的阶层已经开始重新兴起母乳喂养，但这一复兴在贫困人群中却不存在。建议通过各级医疗服务提供者提高认识、开展健康教育（由同伴倡导者进行）、进行早期干预并给予安抚，以防止最不倾向于母乳喂养的人群中母婴哺乳关系的破裂。
