Infant feeding practices: an evaluation of the impact of a health education course

I Shoham-Yakubovich et al. Am J Public Health. 1990 Jun.

Abstract

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.
