A study was carried out in Bangkok, Thailand. It was designed to examine the extent to which breastfeeding promotion posters could be shown measurably to influence infant feeding practices. A questionnaire was administered to 700 mothers who have children aged less than 12 months. Mothers were assigned to control and experimental groups. The control group consisted of 369 mothers who showed no awareness of the breastfeeding promotion posters, while the experimental group consisted of 331 mother who showed previous knowledge of these posters. Breastfeeding promotion posters were found to be uncommon among urban mothers. Despite the fact that this was not a very appropriate setting of the study, and that there were a number of methodological constraints, the results of chi-square analysis showed significant difference of infant feeding practices between control and experimental groups (P less than0.0 5) which/ control and experimental groups (P < 0.005) with the control group breastfeeding more than the experimental group. The study also examined factors Which contribute to the discontinuation of breastfeeding among urban mothers. One of the major reasons for cessation of breastfeeding was insufficient milk production. Although poster to promote breastfeeding in urban mothers did not show any significant success, posters should be used simultaneously with a multi-Media strategy for a breastfeeding campaign.
