分析了1900-19年伦敦区卫生报告摘要，以确定新生儿母乳喂养的发生率、哺乳期、早期补充和过早断奶的原因，以及它们与婴儿死亡率的关系。在222989名婴儿的样本中，母乳喂养率非常高。超过90%的婴儿在第一个月接受母乳喂养，在3个月时几乎80%，在6个月时超过70%。最贫穷的地区新生儿母乳喂养率最高，但早期补充母乳和过早断奶的发生率也更高。母乳喂养与婴儿死亡率呈显著正相关，原因是母亲的饮食和健康状况不佳，补充和替代食品的营养质量不佳，以及使用不卫生的奶瓶。为应对这些问题而开展的积极运动可能是导致这一时期婴儿死亡率下降的原因之一。
Summary Medical Officer of Health reports for London boroughs, 1900–19, are analysed to determine the incidence of neonatal breast-feeding, duration of lactation, reasons for early supplementation and premature weaning, and their relationship with infant mortality. In a sample of 222,989 infants, breast-feeding rates were very high. Over 90% were breast-fed in the first month, almost 80% at 3 months, and over 70% at 6 months. The poorest boroughs had the highest rates of neonatal breast-feeding, but also a higher incidence of early supplementation and premature weaning. There was a significant positive correlation between breast-feeding and infant mortality due to poor maternal diet and health, poor nutritional quality of supplementary and substitute foods, and the use of an unhygienic feeding bottle. Energetic campaigns to counteract these problems probably contributed to the fall of infant mortality in this period.
