Breastfeeding is currently a rare practice in France. Pediatricians wanting to help those women who wish to breast feed should be able to provide them with proper information during the perinatal period, and to ensure that breast feeding begins under the best conditions, i.e., early initiation of breast feeding, then self-demand feeding, breast feeding without restrictions on duration and frequency, no supplementation of any kind, continuous rooming-in, and proper positioning of the baby. Most of the time this is sufficient to prevent complications such as engorgement, sore nipples, mastitis or poor weight gain of the baby. If difficulties appear, they have to be managed by means of simple advice and reassurance, without interrupting breast feeding.

Background: Identifying the modifiable risk factors for childhood mortality using population-attributable fractions (PAFs) estimates can inform public health planning and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated PAFs for key population-level modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in LMICs.
Methods: We used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data sets (2010-22) from 48 LMICs, encompassing 35 sub-Saharan African countries and 13 countries from South and Southeast Asia (n = 506 989).
