Abstract

This paper uses unique data from teh 1976-77 and 1988-89 malaysian Family Life Surveys (MFLSs) to address two quations: 1) Are the reported reasons for not initiating breastfeeding or for stopping breastfeeding reliable based in indices of agreement of responses between the two surveys and/or conventional multivariate analytses of overall versus reason-specific breastfeeding duration? 2) What do we gain by separating analyses of age-specific breastfeeding cessation by reported reasons?
