Abstract
Richards, M. P. M. (Child Care and Development Group, University of Cambridge, U.K.) Breast feeding and the mother‐child relationship. Acta Paediatr Scand, Suppl. 299:33, 1982.—The paper discusses the connections between the mother‐infant relationship and infant feeding. While there is little evidence that the relationship is determined by the method of feeding employed, there are factors that limit the mother‐child relationship and which make the establishment of lactation difficult and its maintenance more uncertain. Some problems of breast feeding in contemporary industrialised society are described.Keywords
