Abstract
Summary Since their arrival in Britain most Vietnamese mothers have abandoned traditional infant feeding practices for ‘modem’ methods which are unsatisfactory and expensive. Health staff are not perceived as a source of information or support. This paper emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive initiatives to reverse this trend.Keywords
