The recent revival of breast-feeding in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

C A Monteiro, H P Zniga, M H Benicio, M F Rea, E S Tudisco and D M Sigulem

A random sampling of children under age five in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1984/85, disclosed the median duration of breast-feeding to be 3.5 months and the duration of exclusive breast-feeding, 2.0 months. A comparison of these figures with those of a similar survey carried out in the same city in 1973/74 revealed a substantial increase in both the frequency and duration of breast-feeding. The trend was evident in all socioeconomic strata but most marked among women from higher income and educational levels.
