Abstract
The present work was carried out by interviewing mothers with her infants
and collecting information about type of feeding. sex, age. order of the infant in the
family. birth weight and infection of diseases (diarrhea, chest allergy and
gastroenteritis allergy). Anthropometric measurements of the infants (weight. length
and head circumference along 3 months) were also determined.
Results indicated that the percent of first order for the infant of bottle feeding in urban
was 64.5%, which was higher than the percent of the first order for the infant of breast
feeding (34.3%).
Type of feeding affected the infection of diseases of the infants The breast
feeding infants had the lowest infection of disease of diarrhea, chest allergy and
gastroenteritis allergy than infants of bottle feeding.
Infant birth weight of the infant was significantly differed between infants of breast and
bottle feeding in urban in spite of in rural areas.
The normal growth rate of weight for both boys and girls infants were better
in breast feeding infants than infants of bottle feeding by 50 percentiles. Also, the
normal growth rate of length for boys and girls infants were better in breast feeding
than bottle feeding by 50 percentiles. These were insignificant difference, among
lengths of infant boys, while there were significant differences among lengths of infant
girls,
Regarding the head circumferences of the infants. it could be seen that the
normal growth of head circumferences for boys infants of breast feeding were more
than infants of bottle feeding in 50 percentiles. while, there were insignificant
differences in girls.
