INDONESIA: Breastfeeding regulations to target formula companies

 Photo by : IRIN

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
