It was found that 35% babies were breast fed, 51% were mixed fed and 14% were bottle-fed. An analysis of factors related with breast feeding indicated that breast feeding was significantly associated with mother's education, income and occupation. In addition, the major factor influencing the decision to breast feed was a personal decision usually made prior to pregnancy. With regards to reasons for refusing breast feeding, it was found that personal inconvenience was the most common cause. The result of this study can be used for developing measures to promote breast feeding. © 1982 Oxford University Press. 2018-10-12T07:25:39Z 2018-10-12T07:25:39Z 1982-10-01 Article Journal of Tropical Pediatrics.
