Abstract

Rapid Industrialisation, ready availability of breast milk substitutes, increase in proportion of women working in non-traditional occupations outside home and acceptance of bottle feeding as symbol of sophistication have resulted in erosion in breast-feeding practices during the first half of the present century. Several studies have demonstrated that breast milk composition is unique and best suited for the growing infants.
