Protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding in low-income countries
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryThe rates of exclusive breastfeeding and the duration of breastfeeding fall short of what is recommended by the Global Strategy on Infant and Young Child Feeding worldwide. In low-income countries this is associated with a great excess of avoidable childhood death and disease. A higher degree of protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding has the potential to avert the death of about 1.3 million children per year and to prevent much of the associated individual and social sufferings. This paper presents some evidence about interventions that are effective to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in the health system and in the community. These interventions should not be implemented in isolation, but as part of an integrated and intersectoral programme, with a participatory approach that takes local cultural characteristics into account. Lack of political will is probably the most important factor associated with inadequate protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding.
