在两个与世隔绝的马尼托巴印第安社区进行了一项回顾性研究，以确定婴儿喂养的类型是否与出生后第一年的感染有关。在158名婴儿中，28名完全母乳喂养，58名最初母乳喂养，然后改为奶瓶喂养，72名完全奶瓶喂养。完全用奶瓶喂养的婴儿在出生后第一年因传染病住院的次数和住院天数是完全用母乳喂养的婴儿的10倍。主要诊断为下呼吸道感染和胃肠炎。只有一个母乳喂养的婴儿发生肠胃炎。母乳喂养对需要住院的严重感染和轻微感染具有很强的保护作用。这种保护作用即使在停止母乳喂养后也会持续，与家庭规模、家庭拥挤程度、家庭收入和父母的教育程度无关。特别是在北方社区，应高度优先采取措施，实现几乎所有婴儿的母乳喂养。
A retrospective study was undertaken at two isolated Manitoba Indian communities to determine whether the type of infant feeding was related to infection during the first year of life. Of 158 infants 28 were fully breast-fed, 58 initially breast-fed and then changed to bottle-feeding and 72 fully bottle-fed. Fully bottle-fed infants were hospitalized with infectious diseases 10 times more often and spent 10 times more days in hospital during the first year of life than fully breast-fed infants. Diagnoses were mainly lower respiratory tract infection and gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis occurred in only one breast-fed infant. Breast-feeding was strongly protective against severe infection requiring hospital admission and also against minor infection. The protective effect, which lasted even after breast-feeding was discontinued, was independent of family size, overcrowding in the home, family income and education of the parents. Measures to achieve breast-feeding for virtually all infants, particularly in northern communities, should be given high priority.
