Abstract

Women play a dual role both at home and at the work place. There is a sustainable increase among women who go out for work due to economic compulsion, soaring price rise, preference for modern living and to utilise the acquired education. In India, one in three of all adult women aged 15-49 are in the workforce and engaged in almost every economic activity. Child rearing continues to be the job of the mother in India and importance of breast-feeding is stressed, all the more, these days. Although many factors are involved, the decline in breast feeding both in developed and developing countries is attributed to the large number of women working outside the home, the availability of large number of infant weaning foods and the lack of nutrition counseling. Hence this research was undertaken to study the association of maternal employment on the feeding practices and the nutritional status of their infants.

Abstract

Good nutrition, in the early months of life, is more usually determined by feeding practices-whether the right food is given at the right time and in the right way and by the right frequency. Breast feeding ensures this start because of its many unique advantages for the child's physical, mental and psychological development. Breastmilk is child's first immunization. Breast feeding should be continued for one year or as long as possible.
