Points that been highlighted :
- Indonesia will soon pass regulations that prevent milk formula companies from targeting babies younger than one – Indonesia sudah, Malaysia bila lagi
- “When they see the ads on TV that say formula A has DHA and vitamins, mothers think it is better,” - Advertisement plays important roles in promoting products
- The Health Ministry admitted many health workers had “not received the knowledge about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding” - Should increase the benefits of breastfeed among health worker
- If doctors would support breastfeeding 100%, that would be better – Doctors may influence mothers in suburb areas to breastfeed their child due to lack of awareness among them
