The paucity of breast-feeding in an urban clinic population.

P D Magnus and S Galindo

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.
