Artificial vs Breast Feeding

Relation to Infant Health in a Middle Class American Community

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 1740 Bainbridge St., Philadelphia, Pa. 191-16

In a comparative study of 113 infants of affluent and well-educated par ents in the same environment, 52 were breast fed and 61 artificially fed. No significant differences could be found between the two groups with respect to a variety of standard clinical measures of health and wellbeing. Where poor hygiene is not a factor, mother's milk per se appears to offer no advantage over present-day artificial infant foods.
