Abstract
Data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey have been used to examine breast-feeding patterns in the Metropolitan Cebu region of the Philippines. The results show that there is extensive and early use of non-nutritive liquids, resulting in low levels of exclusive breast-feeding. The use of cross-sectional versus longitudinal data, the definition of exclusive breast-feeding, and movements in and out of the exclusively breast-fed category, are considered.Keywords: Asia; Breast Feeding; Demographic Factors; Developing Countries; Health; Health Surveys; Infant Nutrition; Longitudinal Studies; Nutrition; Nutrition Surveys; Philippines; Population; Population Characteristics; Research Methodology; Rural Population; Southeastern Asia; Studies; Supplementary Feeding; Urban Population
