Because many factors affect the age when breast milk alone becomes inadequate to meet the nutritional requirements for satisfactory growth, this age varies between populations and between individuals within a population (Underwood & Hofvander, 1982). A significant decline in the incidence and duration of breast feeding was reported in both developed and developing countries. However, the declining trend was halted or reversed in many developed countries as stated by Hirschman and Butler (1981) while there is no evidence of any reversal or upward trend in the developing countries (WHO, 1981).  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Alexandria Journal  Volume : 20  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1990 AH 1990 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, May 5, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حسن غزنوي GHAZNAWI, HASSAN Investigator Doctorate hghaznawi@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  FEEDING PATTERNS AND GROWTH OF.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
