[Breast feeding money in Switzerland]

A mailed questionnaire was sent to all sickness-insurances on the subject of breast-feeding premium. 52% of the insurances replied, representing 90% of all insured persons. In 1976 23% of the mothers received the premium, in 1977 27%. This figure increased, as the membership of the insurances decreased. It is therefore thought, that mothers are not properly informed on this subject.
