dc.descriptionA study on the rural-urban differences in breast-feeding practices by black Zimbabwean parents.en
dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the attitudes, values, beliefs, and practices of black Zimbabwean parents towards breast-feeding and child-feeding. Child rearing practices of parents {fathers and mothers) with children in preschools and in lower grades of primary school were studied. The evidence in this study showed that more rural than urban parents breast-fed their children for longer periods when the children were still young. The breast-feeding period ranged from six months to two years. Evidence also showed that uneducated rural parents were more likely to stop breast-feeding for medical reasons while the urban educated parents were more likely to stop breast-feeding for work reasons.en
