| dc.description.abstract | Throughout history, breastfeeding has been the obvious and natural way for mothers to feed their infants. Despite the widespread availability of alternatives to mothers breastfeeding their own offspring, in every culture and country the option to breastfeed remains a significant method for the nutrition of neonates. Breastfeeding, however, like other cultural practices, has waxed and waned over the years. Three hundred years ago, the infants born to mothers of high social class tended to be breastfed by wet nurses, and this trend then spread towards members of lower socioeconomic groups over the next 200 years [1, 2]. The trend in the twentieth century was towards fewer mothers breastfeeding infants, from a peak of around 90% to the current rate of 42%. Unlike many determinants of health, where less healthy practices are more common amongst lower income groups, breastfeeding is actually more prevalent in societies which are poorer overall. The decline in breastfeeding comes despite the accumulating evidence that breast milk has numerous advantages over artificial baby milk, such as providing immunity against frequently occurring pathogens encountered in infancy [3, 4]. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
