Overview

Analysis reveals marketing contributes to early formula use and breastfeeding disparities, suggesting policy changes are needed.

Key Points

  • Aggressive marketing of infant formulas often undermines breastfeeding efforts and increases formula use.
  • Disparities in breastfeeding rates persist, particularly among Black and Hispanic mothers, due to structural barriers.
  • Human milk fortifiers are critical for improving nutrition in preterm infants, enhancing their health outcomes.
  • Federal funding and oversight for donor human milk programs are limited, impacting access in safety-net hospitals.
