Answer: The mother from the 1970s would be more likely to breast-feed because research was coming out on the many benefits. There were also campaigns to promote it. In the 1940s and 1950s, new formulas were coming on the market, convincing mothers that it was better than breast milk, and some people considered it more modern (even less barbaric) to use formula. Since the 1980s, the percentage of women breast-feeding has increased.
