ABSTRACT
A comprehensive social-and-hygienic study of families with newborns was undertaken for the purpose of defining the factors influencing the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding. A special questionnaire was worked out that was addressed to 1088 families in 3 cities, i.e. Moscow, Ulyanovsk and Cherkessk. The poor and worsening parameters of breast feeding were found to result, primarily, from the shaped practice of breast feeding present in families, when the mothers are insufficiently informed on such feeding by medical personnel, family members and family friends. An analysis of the obtained data provided for outlining the actual related ways and means on how to maintain, protect and promote the breastfeeding at the regional level.
