Son preference and its effects on Korean lactation practices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
Using retrospective data from Korea, multi-variate log-linear analyses indicate that the sex of a child influences the probability of it being breast-fed. Even for women with a living son, there are greater than average odds that they will not breast-feed an infant girl. The sex of the child did not, however, influence the number of months he/she was breast-fed.
