Epidemiology and Health Services Evaluation Unit, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel.

We assessed the impact of a health education course on infant feeding practices in the West Bank territories by comparing mothers who had attended the course (n = 102) with mothers not exposed to the course (n = 133). After adjustment for child's age, maternal age and education, parity, and birth site, course participants were more likely than non-participants to breastfeed, as well as to start supplementation by semi-solid foods at the recommended time.
