Investigating the disjoint between education and health policy for infant feeding among teenage mothers in South Africa
Our findings suggest educators should actively encourage school attendance in a healthy pregnant adolescent until delivery with later return to school, and health providers should focus attention on breastfeeding for the initial 4-6 weeks postpartum, followed by guided support of formula-feeding. We encourage the active engagement of adolescents' mothers and extended families who are often involved in infant feeding and care decisions. Education …

Participants knew arguments in favor of and against breast and formula-feedin…
