Attitudes toward breast-feeding and infant feeding among Iranian, Afghan, and Southeast Asian immigrant women in the United States: implications for health and nutrition education.
1992
Ghaemi Ahmadi S.
In the United States, the number of mothers who breast-feed their infants has increased dramatically in recent years--more than doubling from 25% in 1971 to 63% in 1984. In stark contrast to this national trend, immigrant mothers who breast-fed infants born in their native countries often do not breast-feed or reduce the time they breast-feed their infants born in the United States. This study used survey interviews to explore the social, cultural, and economic factors associated with breastfeeding practices of Persian (ie, Iranian and Afghan) and Southeast Asian (ie, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian) immigrant mothers.
