The positive and negative emotional and physical experiences of 152 long-term breast-feeding American and Canadian mothers are described. These highly motivated mothers believed that breast feeding their babies past 6 months enhanced the infants'' emotional and physical health, and provided themselves with loving relationships with their infants.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
