The 1991 Mauritius Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (CPS) included a special module on infant feeding patterns in Mauritius. Since 1985, when a similar CPS was conducted, the incidence of breast-feeding has fallen from 86% to 72%. The duration of any breast-feeding among those breast-fed remained constant at 13.6 months. The module allowed for an assessment of the World Health Organization (WHO) breast-feeding indicators on exclusive breast-feeding, timely complementary feeding and continued breast-feeding. Only 16% of infants 0-3 months old are exclusively breast-fed; only 29% on infants 6-9 months old receive breast milk and complementary foods and only 27% of children 12-15 months are still breast-fed. These patterns of limited breast-feeding and early supplementation may signal future declines in breast-feeding for other African and Asian countries.
1991年毛里求斯避孕普及率调查（CPS）包含一个关于毛里求斯婴儿喂养模式的特别模块。自1985年进行类似的CPS以来，母乳喂养率已从86%降至72%。在进行母乳喂养的人群中，任何形式母乳喂养的持续时间保持在13.6个月不变。该模块对世界卫生组织（WHO）关于纯母乳喂养、适时添加辅食和持续母乳喂养的指标进行了评估。0至3个月大的婴儿中只有16%是纯母乳喂养；6至9个月大的婴儿中只有29%同时接受母乳和辅食；12至15个月大的儿童中只有27%仍在接受母乳喂养。这种有限的母乳喂养和过早添加辅食的模式可能预示着其他非洲和亚洲国家未来母乳喂养率的下降。
