    Factors influencing infant feeding patterns in Sri Lanka
    (Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1986) Soysa, P.E.; Fernado, D.N.
    Early introduction of formular milks during infancy is one of the major changes that have been observed in the infant feeding patterns of both developed and developping countries. A community based study of infants in urban, town and rural sectors of Sri Lanka indicates that the early introduction of formular milks is a common phenomenon, specially in urban areas. The importance of urban residence, higher educational level of the mother and employment of the mother outside the home are the factors favouring early of formula milks.
