Consider two American women of similar ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds: one who gave birth in the 1950's and the other who gave birth in the 1970's. Which one would be more likely to have breast-fed? Explain why
Briefly explain breast-feeding trends in the U. S. from the 1980's until today.
What will be an ideal response?
The mother from the 70's 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 40's and 50's 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 80's the percentage of women breast-feeding has increased.
