Population attributable fractions (PAFs) for diarrhoeal disease associated with infant feeding variables were estimated as (proportion of cases exposed) × (OR − 1) / OR.13 Survival analysis was used to estimate the prevalence of breast feeding at age 6 months while allowing for censoring, due to some infants being aged under 6 months.

In the unadjusted analysis, diarrhoeal disease was significantly associated with lower social class, living in rented council accommodation, not having access to a food mixer, having contact with a person with diarrhoea / vomiting within or outside the household, formula feeding, and, in infants not being breast fed, not using chemicals / steam to sterilise bottles (table 1).

Importantly, we found that in infants currently formula fed, having been breast fed for at least six months was not associated with less diarrhoeal disease than having never been breast fed.

Further, in infants currently formula fed, having been breast fed for at least six months was not associated with less diarrhoeal disease than having never been breast fed (for 6 + months versus never breast fed, adjusted OR = 1.14, 95 % CI 0.38 to 3.40, p = 0.81).
