Abstract:In the Mother and Child Health (MCH) clinics of the Catholic Relief Service each mother of a child aged between six months and five years receives once a month two kilograms of dried skimmed milk (DSM) and one kilogram of vegetable oil per child. From December 1978 to July 1979 a controlled trial was carried out in eight MCH clinics in Khartoum Province, in order to compare the effects of DSM with those of a similar supplement of locally grown beans. This paper reports on the home background of the families participating in the trial, their breastfeeding and weaning practices, illness episodes among the young children and their utilization of the local health services. Ref., sum.
