Health-care professionals (HCP) have a responsibility to protect and promote maternal and infant health and breastfeeding is one of the most effective measures to support this. Increasing breastfeeding rates in Australia is crucial to improving population health, but the absence of robust policies, programmes and education for HCP undermines this effort. The pervasive marketing of commercial milk formulas (CMF), including sponsorship of HCP and their organisations, has introduced significant conflicts of interest that distort clinical practice, education, research and guidelines developed in the infant feeding domain.

Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Background: Breastmilk is widely regarded as the healthiest choice for both infants and mothers due to its numerous advantages over formula, such as higher concentrations of essential nutrients and antibodies, easier digestion, and superior taste. The World Health Organization International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes was adopted over 40 years ago to mitigate the effects of infant formula marketing on a woman's decision to breastfeed. Yet, the commercial formula milk industry has continued to market their products aggressively and through an increasing variety of social media channels.

- The study interviewed 23 mothers from different neonatal units in England to understand how staff support and unit facilities influence breastfeeding behaviors, using the COM-B framework to analyze factors like capability, opportunity, and motivation.
- Key findings highlighted that mothers' motivation was significantly impacted by information from staff on the benefits of breast milk, encouragement, and the availability of resources, indicating that tailored support is essential for improving breastfeeding success in preterm infants.
