Breastfeeding Is Not the Sole Responsibility of Women’
Breastfeeding is the optimal method of infant and young child feeding. In Nigeria, breastfeeding rates have struggled to markedly improve over past decades. Prior efforts to understand the determinants of breastfeeding have heavily focused on women themselves, with lesser attention on the complex interplay of cultural, economic and health system factors affecting breastfeeding. Given the struggle to sustain improvements in optimal feeding practic…
Breastfeeding and breastmilk substitute use and feeding motivations among mothers in Bandung City, Indonesia
Suboptimal breastfeeding is common in Indonesia, with only half of infants 0-5 months of age exclusively breastfed and feeding of breastmilk substitutes (BMS) highly prevalent among infants and toddlers. Various factors influence these feeding practices, including social norms, limited health system support and BMS manufacturer marketing practices. This cross-sectional survey aimed to identify the prevalence of breastfeeding and BMS feeding among…
Promotions of breastmilk substitutes, commercial complementary foods and commercial snack products commonly fed to young children are frequently found in points‐of‐sale in Bandung City, Indonesia
Few studies have documented the marketing of commercial foods and beverages for infants and young children in West Java, Indonesia. To assess the prevalence of promotions at points-of-sale for commercially produced products commonly fed to young children in Bandung City, 43 small and large stores were visited in 2017. Promotions for breastmilk substitutes (BMS), commercially produced complementary foods (CPCF), and select types of commercial snac…

Child undernutrition continues to be a national concern in Indonesia, whereas childhood overweight/obesity rises. Economic development has led to wide availability of highly processed foods and beverages, with growing evidence that children are consuming commercial snack products during the critical complementary feeding period. This study assessed the prevalence and patterns of consumption of commercially produced snack foods and sugar-sweetened…
Pilot implementation of a monitoring and enforcement system for the International Code of Marketing of Breast‐milk Substitutes in Cambodia
Globally, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes are often lacking. The Cambodian government adopted the Code as the national standard in Sub-Decree 133 on Marketing of Products for Infant and Young Child Feeding. Following the formation of a multisectoral Oversight Board and development of detailed guidance documents for the implementation and enforceme…
Commercially produced complementary foods in Bandung City, Indonesia, are often reported to be iron fortified but with less than recommended amounts or suboptimal forms of iron
Commercially produced complementary foods (CPCF) that are iron fortified can help improve iron status of young children. We conducted a review of 217 CPCF sold in 42 stores in Bandung, Indonesia, in 2017. There were 95 (44%) infant cereals, 71 (33%) snacks or finger foods (biscuits or cookies, puffs, and noodles or crackers), 35 (16%) purees, and 16 (7%) other foods for which we obtained label information. Nearly 70% of CPCF reported iron content…
