Record ID 32016000311
English
Authors' objectives:
To review the evidence on the effect of promoting milk formula for toddler, pregnant or breastfeeding mothers on
breastfeeding practice.
Authors' recommendations:
A total of 199 titles were identified through the Ovid interface and PubMed. However, most of the articles
focused on the effect of promoting infant formula on breastfeeding practice. There were one cross-sectional
survey and one qualitative study which found that the advertising of toddler formula appeared to be functioning as a de facto advertising for infant formula and it was positioned as a competitor to breastfeeding, rather than to other brands.
There was no retrievable evidence that evaluate the direct effect of promoting toddler, pregnancy and breastfeeding formula on breastfeeding practice.
