Abstract

A health education programme which had the objective of increasing the practice of breast-feeding is evaluated. Women provided with health education are shown to have greater knowledge of the advantages of breast-feeding but unchanged behaviour as regards breast-feeding practice. A plea is made for a nation-wide effort to promote breast-feeding.
