Scaling Up Breastfeeding Programs in Mexico: Lessons Learned from the Becoming Breastfeeding Friendly Initiative
There is an urgency to improve breastfeeding practices in Mexico to increase the health and well-being of children and mothers. The Becoming Breastfeeding Friendly Toolbox was recently developed to guide countries in assessing their readiness and progress with scale-up of breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support as well as to develop policy recommendations for high-level decision makers.
The authors of this study documented the Becoming Breastfeeding Friendly process in Mexico. Based on their findings, they strongly recommended raising national awareness on breastfeeding, incorporating the Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in the Mexican legislations, and extending maternity leave to 6 months. Moreover, the authors argue for the need to strengthen evidence-based advocacy to secure stable funding and resources for a successful national strategy for the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding in Mexico.
You can read the complete study and its results in Current Developments in Nutrition, #ASN's open-access journal.
