The Value Bases of Infant Feed ing Modalities in a Rural Community
Abstract
Summary: In order to determine the value bases of infant feeding modality in a developing community, 308 respondents were surveyed in a rural com munity. With a structured questionnaire and three different photographs of an obese, a moderately plump and a slim healthy male infant respectively, information was obtained from the respondents. It was found that most of the respondents expect a well-fed infant to look beautiful, strong, healthy and above all, its feeding modality to be a popular one. Therefore, for nu trition education in the community to be effective, it should focus on those attributes as best conferred by the advocated feeding modality.
