Infant formula samples and breast feeding among Philippine urban poor
Early termination of breastfeeding among Philippine urban poor
Mothers from an urban poor group in a Philippine city were recruited within three months of delivery and followed for one year in monthly interviews to determine infant feeding practices and the timing and causes of changes. Particular attention was paid to breastfeeding. Of those seen before delivery, 95 percent initiated breastfeeding. Early terminations were precipitated by diarrhea, insufficient milk, mother's return to work, mother's sicknes…
Dietary intervention and growth of infants and toddlers in a Philippine rural community
A longitudinal, pretest‐posttest design using purposive sampling was employed to determine the effect of dietary intervention without environmental modifications on the nutritional status of 48 normal or mildly malnourished infants and toddlers in a rural Philippine community. The 24 experimental subjects were provided daily with food supplements so that their total diet met recommended dietary allowances. Data on physical growth, clinical signs …
Maintenance and termination of breast feeding in rural and urban Philippine communities
Three samples of Filipino mothers from urban and rural settings with at least 1 baby less than 2 years of age were interviewed. There was a unanimous preference for breastfeeding. About 90% succeeded in starting breastfeeding and at least half continued until the baby was at least 1 year old. Those who failed cited no milk or insufficient milk, or that the mother had an acute or chronic illness at the time of delivery, as reasons for termination …
Behavior, Malnutrition, and Mental Development
Of 56 children 6 to 36 months of age tested in a mountain village in the Philippines, 16 were too sick to respond to the testing situation. An additional 15 with histories of severe malnutrition obtained very low scores on the Bayley Scale. The poor performance of malnourished children appears to be part of a larger pattern in which vigorous efforts are made to keep children from crying by giving them heavily sugared food, carrying them most of t…
Diet and the tiruray shift from swidden to plow farming
The Tiruray are a Philippine tribe traditionally adapted to forested mountains. In recent years the forests are being destroyed by outside influences and their economy is rapidly being transformed from a forest swidden regime to a plow‐farming one on cleared land. Hunting, fishing, and gathering of wild resources have virtually disappeared. This paper reports a study done in two Tiruray communities at opposite poles of this shift in the subsisten…
