The City

The Department of Health of the City of Boston in 1876 distributed a small manual to mothers with newborn infants outlining for their information what was at that time considered enlightened rules for the proper rearing of infants and children. The younger pediatricians in practice today may find the advice about infant feeding in this manual of interest because it is so different from contemporary practice.1 As a rule, until the child has its eight centre teeth, it should receive no food but milk.... Until the child is six weeks old feed it every two hours during the day, and every three hours during the night. After this gradually lengthen the intervals between the meals, so that, by the time the baby is four months old, it shall be fed every four hours during the day, and if necessary once during the night.... As soon as the centre teeth have come, weaning may be attempted....

Legal Duty

The purpose of aftercare is to enable patients to return to their home or accommodation other than a hospital or nursing home, and to minimse the need for future in-patient care. Under section 117 of the Mental Health Act 1983, local health and social services authorities have a legal duty to provide aftercare for certain categories of patients when they leave hospital (Department of Health and Welsh Office, 1993).

The Impact

The impact of variations in current infant feeding practice on bone mineral accrual is not known. We examined the associations between duration of breast-feeding and compliance with infant dietary guidelines and later bone size and density at age 4 years. At total of 599 (318 boys) mother–child pairs were recruited from the Southampton Women's Survey. Duration of breast-feeding was recorded and infant diet was assessed at 6 and 12 months using FFQ. At 6 and 12 months the most important dietary pattern, defined by principal component analysis, was characterised by high consumption of vegetables, fruits and home-prepared foods. As this was consistent with infant feeding recommendations, it was denoted the ‘infant guidelines’ pattern. At age 4 years, children underwent assessment of whole-body bone size and density using a Hologic Discovery dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry instrument. Correlation methods were used to explore the relationships between infant dietary variables and bone mineral. There was no association between duration of breast-feeding in the first year of life and 4-year bone size or density. ‘Infant guidelines’ pattern scores at 6 and 12 months were also unrelated to bone mass at age 4 years. We observed wide variations in current infant feeding practice, but these variations were not associated with differences in childhood bone mass at age 4 years.
