Insufficient breastfeeding is one of the major factors contributing to the higher infant mortality rates globally, particularly in developing countries. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and antibodies that help protect infants against infections and illnesses, which can be especially critical in the early days of life. As the data published by the UNICEF, in 2021, the neo-natal mortality was around 18 deaths/1,000 lives, across the globe.
It is also important to recognize that breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infants, and that breastfeeding provides many benefits beyond nutrition, including bonding between mother and baby and protection against infections and illnesses. Breastfeeding should be encouraged and supported whenever possible, and efforts should be made to address the underlying factors that can interfere with successful breastfeeding, such as lack of support, stigma, and barriers to accessing healthcare services. As per the article published in the Lancet, in February 2023, nearly, 50 per cent of the moms, who reported milk in-sufficiency before, have adopted the commercial milk powder in their early months.
COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on many aspects of healthcare, including the breastfeeding industry. The pandemic has led to significant mental and physical challenges for individuals and families, including increased stress and anxiety, which can affect breastfeeding rates. In addition, disruptions in the supply chain and restrictions on movement and transportation have made it difficult for some mothers to access breastfeeding products and services. This has led to a decrease in demand for these products in some regions, particularly in the early phase of the pandemic.
Efforts are being made to support breastfeeding during the pandemic, including through virtual consultations and support groups, home visits by healthcare professionals, and outreach campaigns to educate mothers and families about the importance of breastfeeding.
