This study examined the relationship between infant feeding practice and frequencies of infant health problems in the first 4 months of life;using a prospective;self-report design. Infant feeding practice was classified as exclusively breast-fed(n=25);exclusively formula fed(n=30);and mixedfed(n=17). Mothers were interviewed by telephone bi-weekly for 16 weeks during the period between September 28th;1998 and March 30th;1999. The data suggested that there was no substantial protective effect of breast feeding against occurrence of health problems early in life in a largely middle class urban population.
However;the frequency of health problem was highest in the formula fed group and lowest in the breast-fed group at 1;through 4 months of age. Most frequently reported health problems were colds and rashes. The frequency of health care utilization also appeared to be different among three feeding groups. For example;mothers who breast-fed visited physician¢¥ s office less frequently than mothers of the formula-fed infants at 1 through 4 months.
Based on this small sample study;we felt it is necessary to extend a longer period of observation and a large population study to detect the protective effect of breastfeeding against health problems.
