Women how do not breastfeed are at a greater risk for what diseases?
Myocardial infarction
Metabolic syndrome
Coronary artery disease
Stroke
DMII
HTN
Hyperlipidemia
Cardiovascular disease
Breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer
Reason #1 why women do not exclusively breastfeed
Unrealistic expectations from society about motherhood. Along with lack of preparation for what the
newborn period would be like.
Reason #2 why women do not exclusively breastfeed
Lack of timely interventions. Mother's problems at 3-7 days posed the greatest risk for stopping which is
when they are home from the hospital and alone with no support. The fastest drop-off is in the first 10
days following discharge from the hospital
The International Code of Marketing of Breast milk Substitutions
An international health policy framework to regulate the marketing of breast milk substitutes in order to
protect breastfeeding. It was written in response to the marketing activities of the infant feeding
industry which were promoting formula feeding over breastfeeding, which in turn was leading to a
dramatic increase in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
, SCORE MORE
What does "The Code" do?
Regulates the marketing of breast milk substitutes which includes infant formulas and any other food or
drink, together with feeding bottles, and teats, intended for babies and young children. Sets standards
for the labeling and quality of products and for how the law should be implemented and monitored
within countries. Aims to make sure that parental choices on feeding are based on full, impartial
information, rather than misleading, inaccurate or biased marketing claims.
The Global Strategy for Infant & Young Child Feeding
Is intended as a guide for action; it identifies interventions with a proven positive impact, it emphasizes
providing mothers and families the support they need to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly
defines the obligations and responsibilities in this regard of governments, international organizations,
and other concerned parties.
What contributes to low rates of exclusive breastfeeding globally?
Caregiver and societal beliefs favoring mixed feedings (believing that breast milk is not enough or that
babies actions/issues are related to the breast milk/breastfeeding)
Hospital and healthcare practices and policies that are not supportive of breastfeeding
Lack of adequate skilled support
Aggressive promotion of infant formula and other breast milk substitutes rather than promoting support
for breastfeeding
Inadequate maternity and paternity leave legislation and other workplace policies
Lack of knowledge about the dangers of not exclusively breastfeeding and of proper breastfeeding
techniques
How to support exclusive breastfeeding
Increase hospital and health system capacity including revitalizing, expanding, and institutionalizing the
baby-friendly hospital initiative in health systems
Provide community based strategies including communication campaigns tailored to the local context
Strengthen the monitoring, enforcement, and legislation related to "The Code" and subsequent
resolutions.
