The concern is that breast-feeding deteriorates during humanitarian emergencies, when children need it most.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980010001667_abs4\" sec-type=\"subjects\">\n\t    <jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The four surveys visited a random sample of clusters from population registers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the Republica Srpska (RS). Interviewers asked about breast-feeding and other factors related to child health, and measured mid upper-arm circumference in 1123 infants aged 1\u201312 months.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980010001667_abs5\" sec-type=\"results\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>One-fifth of infants were not breast-fed at all (220\/1087). Muslim and displaced children were less likely to breast-feed; 59 % of Muslim displaced children never breast-fed. Among infants in sites visited by all four surveys, there was no change in the proportion ever breast-fed and a significant increase in duration of breast-feeding and exclusive breast-feeding between 1994 and 1997. Children were breast-fed for shorter durations in male absent households, in frontline communities, the RS, and households that did not receive remittances from abroad. Non-breast-fed children and those who breast-fed for less than 4 months were more likely to be malnourished, as were those with complementary foods added either before or after their sixth month of life.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980010001667_abs6\" sec-type=\"conclusion\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>If relief agencies had promoted and supported breast-feeding, this might have avoided some of the increased malnutrition that occurred during the conflict.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1368980010001667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,25]],"date-time":"2010-06-25T10:44:00Z","timestamp":1277462640000},"page":"2097-2104","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Breast-feeding in a complex emergency: four linked cross-sectional studies during the Bosnian conflict"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Neil","family":"Andersson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Paredes-Sol\u00eds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Legorreta-Soberanis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Cockcroft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorraine","family":"Sherr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-32","volume-title":"Infant Feeding in Emergencies","author":"Robertson","year":"1997"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-14","first-page":"62","article-title":"Supporting breastfeeding in times of conflict","volume":"39","author":"Falk","year":"2003","journal-title":"Leaven: La Leche League International"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-15","volume-title":"Infant Feeding in Emergencies: Experiences from Lebanon","author":"Maclaine","year":"2007"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0006-341X.2000.00645.x"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1552-6909.1994.tb01951.x"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17450128.2010.507801"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-33","first-page":"CD003517","article-title":"Optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding","author":"Kramer","year":"2002","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-3","volume-title":"How to Breastfeed During an Emergency","author":"Helsing","year":"1995"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-16","first-page":"7","volume-title":"Summaries of a Nutrition Seminar: The Impact of War on Nutrition in Sarajevo","author":"Robertson","year":"1994"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-7717.1993.tb01138.x"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmwh.2004.05.001"},{"key":"S1368980010001667_manual_ref-9","unstructured":"9.
