Abstract:
A questionnaire survey on infant feeding was conducted in Wexford maternity Hospital for a 3 month period. Positive intervention in favour of breast feeding in the form of an explanatory and encouraging leaflet was given to one group of expectant mothers, while no leaflet was given to the other group. Actual feeding method prior to discharge from hospital was subsequently noted. Little change in feeding pattern resulted and it is concluded that an explanatory leaflet alone is insufficient encouragement.
