Abstract
One of the concerns about adolescents becoming mothers is that these young mothers may not have the knowledge or experience to make sound decisions about their children's diets. Most studies of adolescent mothers have focused on the incidence and duration of breast-feeding ( (1) Jacobson S.W. Jacobson J.L. Frye K.F. Incidence and correlates of breast-feeding in socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Pediatrics. 1991; 88: 728-736 Google Scholar , (2) Schneck M.E. Sideras K.S. Fox R.A. Dupuis L. Low-income pregnant adolescents and their infants dietary findings and health outcomes. J Am Diet Assoc. 1990; 90: 555-558 Google Scholar , (3) Neifert M. Gray J. Gary N. Camp B. Factors influencing breast-feeding among black infants. J Adolesc Health Care. 1988; 9: 470-473 Google Scholar ); less is known about their infant feeding practices ( (4) Yoos L. Developmental issues and choice of feeding method of adolescent mothers. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs. 1985; 14: 68-72 Google Scholar , (5) Baisch M.J. Fox R.A. Goldberg B.D. Breastfeeding attitudes and practices among adolescents. J Adolesc Health Care. 1989; 10: 41-45 Google Scholar ).
