对高婴儿死亡率及其与缺乏母乳喂养的可疑联系的关注，促使人们在罗斯世纪末和20世纪初收集了德国几个州母乳喂养频率的统计数据。与普遍和延长母乳喂养是农村农业人口习惯的假设相反，在母乳喂养的儿童比例和母乳喂养的平均时间方面存在很大的区域差异。结合婴儿死亡率和婚姻生育率的统计数据对这些数据进行分析，证实了婴儿死亡率高与缺乏母乳喂养之间的联系。然而，将母乳喂养与生育率联系起来的假设尚未得到证实。婚姻生育率与婴儿死亡率的关系似乎比与母乳喂养的关系更密切。
Abstract Concern about high infant mortality and its suspected connection with the lack of breast-feeding stimulated the collection of statistics about the frequency of breast-feeding in several German states during the late roth and early 20th centuries. Contrary to the assumption that universal and extended breast-feeding is customary among rural agricultural populations, large regional variations existed both in the proportion of children who were breast-fed and in the average duration of the period for which they were breast-fed. An analysis of these data in connection with statistics of infant mortality and marital fertility confirms the association between high infant mortality and the absence of breast-feeding. An hypothesis linking breast-feeding and fertility, however, is not confirmed. Marital fertility appears to be much more closely associated with infant mortality than with breast-feeding.
