Few mothers from a 19th-century dairy farming village in the Netherlands breastfed their children. In a new study, researchers aimed to find out why. Click the link to read more. breastfeeding babyformula milkalternatives
. Now, amid a nationwide formula shortage in the U.S., those parents who do opt for a baby bottle — for reasons ranging from health problems to the demands of working outside the home — face intensified scrutiny.
The researchers initially hoped to learn more about the diets of the 19th-century residents of the village by analyzing the different forms of carbon and nitrogen within their remains. These matter because nitrogen isotope ratios reflect how much protein a person ate during their lifetime, while carbon isotope ratios can also indicate the carbohydrate and fat components of that individual's diet. “The idea is simply ‘you are what you eat,’” says Waters-Rist.
As it turned out, 75 to 90 percent of infants younger than 11 months showed no evidence of having been breastfed — a trend that continued across all age groups. Potentially every 2-year-old, as well as the vast majority of remaining children under the age of 6, also lacked evidence of breastfeeding. Even among those who were breastfed, more often than not it only occurred for a short few weeks or months.
For Beemster women, the average workday was often 12 to 16 hours long . While their husbands tended to cattle or sold wares in nearby villages, the women were in charge of milking, producing dairy products, preparing meals, completing domestic chores and rearing children.
