A）向日本26个都道府县的地方保健中心的3岁奥尔兹母亲分发了关于母亲母乳喂养和断奶做法的资料。923母亲完成了他们的数据进行了分析，特别是在断奶实践的倡议。结果表明：（1）母乳喂养率在1岁和1.5岁时急剧下降，2岁后几乎消失;（2）母亲在1岁和1.5岁时逐渐停止奶瓶喂养;（3）固体食物主要在5个月时引入。结果还表明：（4）停乳主要是由婴儿的年龄、吃固体食物的习惯和离乳等因素引起的，母亲的因素除乳汁分泌不足外，其他因素的影响较小;（5）母亲为了暴露固体食物的味道而引入固体食物是引起停乳的主要原因。421名母亲主动停止母乳喂养，124名母亲将决定权留给孩子。这 ...更多信息 母亲与子女之间是否存在主动断奶的关系，与居住地区、城市化程度、子女出生顺序、性别、母亲就业、文化程度等因素无关。但与随仔要求断奶的母亲相比，主动断奶的母亲倾向于（1）不尊重仔的个性，（2）希望尽早断奶，（3）为了自己的利益，（4）更多地依赖医学专家和自己的想法，而不是仔的行为，B）（1）对“Dannyu”突然断奶的行为观察和问卷调查结果;（2）对La Leche League重点母亲断奶实践的纵向观察结果（一组尝试自然断奶的母亲）的调查结果，并结合上述结果，对日本政府恢复断奶指导之前的断奶实践进行了综合讨论。少

A) Questionnaires on mothers' milk-feedins and weaning practices were distributed to mothers of 3 year olds in local health centers of 26 Prefectures in Japan. 923 mothers-completed them and the data were analyzed with a special reference to initiatives in the weaning practice. The results indicate the general tendencies as follows : (1) Percentages of breast feeding decreased abruptly at 1 year and at 1.5 years, and it was almost absent after 2 years of age ; (2) mothers tended to stop bottle-feeding at 1 and 1.5 years ; (3) solids were introduced mostly at 5 months. The results also show that (4) milk stoppage was caused mainly by children's factors such as their age, bejaviors of eating solids and leaving from breast, and mothers' factors were less important except for lack of milk secretion, but (5) introduction of solids was urged by maternal effort to expose tastes of solids. 421 mothers took initiatives to stop breast-feedins, and 124 mothers left the decision to children. Which … More side between mothers and offspring has the initiative of weaning did not correlate with any of areas of living, urbanization, children's birth order or sex, or mothers' employment or education. However, in comparison with mothers who weaned following the offspring demands, mothers who took initiative of weaning tended (1) to respect less for offspring's individuality, (2) to wish an earlier weaning, (3) for their own benefit, (4) depending more on medical experts and their own ideas than offsprins's behaviors, (5) based more on the offspring's age than their behaviors.B) Results of (1) behavioral observations and questionnaire studies of sudden weaning called 'Dannyu' and (2) longitudinal observations of weaning practice by focal mothers in La Leche League (a group of mothers who try natural weaning) were analyzed, and were put together with the results of the above to make a synthetic discussion about weaning practice in Japan at the time before the renewal of governmental advice on weaning.
