Young, S. (2016) Infant Feeding Practices among Somali-born women now resident in Bristol. MLitt Thesis, University of Bristol.  A study at Redcliffe Children’s Centre, Bristol.

 This ethnographic study sought to understand Somali women’s infant feeding not from a public health stance but from their own perspectives and within the wider context of their lives, including their migration from Somali territories. The pattern of basic features is explained as a legacy of evolved adaptations to life in the resource-scarce environment of the Horn of Africa.
