Correlates of Short Interbirth Intervals in Peninsular Malaysia
Recent research has shown that children born before and after short birth intervals run a considerably greater risk of dying in infancy or childhood than do others.

The analysis uses data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey to examine influences on the two main behaviors--breastfeeding and contraceptive use--that affect birth in…
Comparison of influences on breastfeeding initiation of firstborn children, 1960-69 vs 1970-79
Do women's breastfeeding experiences with their first-borns affect whether they breastfeed their subsequent children
Data on women with at least two children are used to examine how the breastfeeding experience with the first child affects whether subsequent children are breastfed.
