对10名低收入黑人妇女进行非结构化访谈，探讨婴儿喂养方式。在头3个月，母亲最常用的方式是配方奶喂养，并在奶瓶中早期引入谷物。6个月大时，用配方奶粉喂养的婴儿饮食结构复杂，食物种类繁多。一半的妇女打算母乳喂养，但只有一个完全母乳喂养。关于健康婴儿和哭闹的信念影响了喂养。在这些妇女的环境中，缺乏关于母乳喂养的知识和支持。卫生保健系统对婴儿喂养的支持和建议参差不齐。
Unstructured interviews were conducted with 10 low-income black women to explore infant feeding style. Formula-feeding with early introduction of cereal in the bottle was the most common pattern used by mothers in the first 3 months. By 6 months, formula-fed infants had a complex diet of a variety of foods. Half the women intended to breast-feed, but only one exclusively breast-fed. Beliefs about healthy infants and crying influenced feeding. There was a lack of knowledge about and support for breast-feeding in these women's environment. Support and advice about infant feeding from the health care system were uneven.
