All children were followed from birth to 6 months of age.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Introduction of both water and weaning food was significantly delayed in the intervention group. However we found no beneficial health effects of the intervention; there was no reduction in mortality in the intervention group compared with the control group (mortality rate ratio: 1.86 (0.79\u20134.39)), weight at 4\u20136 months of age was significantly lower in the intervention group (7.10 kg vs. 7.25 kg; Wilcoxon two\u2010sample test: p = 0.03). There was no difference in diarrhoea morbidity and hospitalization rates.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion: Although mothers were sensitive to follow new breastfeeding recommendations, it had no beneficial impact on infant health in this society with traditional, intensive breastfeeding. There seems to be little reason to discourage local practices as long as there are no strong data justifying such a change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.2007.00532.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,29]],"date-time":"2008-04-29T18:23:44Z","timestamp":1209493424000},"page":"68-75","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Promotion of exclusive breastfeeding is not likely to be cost effective in West Africa.
