- Abstract
In France, as in many other countries, public health guidelines recommend breastfeeding exclusively, but doing so depends partly on the cultural norms of the countries in which women have been socialized. To what extent are immigrant and native women different regarding their breastfeeding practices? Do immigrant women retain certain specificities of their country of origin? To respond to these questions, the authors use data from the ELFE national cohort of children and describe breastfeeding duration and intensity among native mothers, descendants of immigrants, and immigrant women in France during the child's first six months.
