The low number of mother’s milk exclusively cited as the causes of high child mortality. The statement was not a figment. UNICEF statistics show every year there are approximately 30 thousand deaths under five in Indonesia and 10 million under five deaths worldwide. The data also noted that only fourteen percent of infants in Indonesia who received mother’s milk exclusively from the mother until the age of six months. This phenomenon seems to describe a significant relationship between low rates of exclusive breastfeeding with high rates of infant mortality in Indonesia.
Seeing this reality, it is questionable what the cause of the low number of mother’s milk exclusively in infants in Indonesia. According to dr. Utami Roesli, Sp.A, MBA, IBCLC, Chairman of the Indonesian Lactation Center, one reason is the rampant promotion of formula milk in Indonesia.
Right Start Child Missing mother because no more idea about the benefits of mother’s milk so the mother thought that infant formula is better than mother’s milk. This rhythm is also described by dr. Large Sanyoto Dien, Sp.A, IBCLC, Coordinator of the Working Increased Use of BMS. He said that the incessant promotion of formula milk to be one cause of the low number of mother’s milk exclusively in infants.
Profanity promotion of formula milk
Riot promotion of formula milk are actually a chronic problem. If judging Further, there are many violations that have been done by formula milk companies. Package containing gifts for the mother formula, formula feeding to infants born to poor families, until the board names new born baby from formula milk companies are some violations that have been done. This was clearly inhibited the baby to get mother’s milk from his mother.
In addition to blocking of BMS indirectly, the hospitals are also hindering directly. The fact is that many newborns immediately separated from their mothers and formula-fed from the sponsoring party at the hospital. These conditions will certainly minimize the possibility of infants received mother’s milk from his mother. Responding to that, that newborns fed formula milk would be reluctant to drink mother’s milk. As a result the baby will be malnourished and more susceptible to disease. Furthermore, would pose a threat of loss of generation.
Although clearly stated in the form of infringement, but in reality, many public hospitals and Maternal and Child Hospital who collaborated with the company’s infant formula. Cooperation unhealthy it solely for the benefit of the hospital and the company’s own formula. These problems became more complicated because basically hospitals need funds and companies need consumers. That’s what ultimately pave the violation. Coupled with the ignorance of consumers, families and mothers of infants, about such cooperation. Seeing it was Dien spoke, “less than five Maternal and Child Hospital in Jakarta that really work in a clean run.”
Forms violation apparently not limited to health care facilities. Like do not want to miss, formula milk companies were actively promoting their products to the public through television advertisements, newspapers, internet, jumbo posters (billboards), to the clinic signage. However, sometimes they give information which may mislead the public. For example, advertising of formula milk is always illustrate that formula-fed babies will grow up healthy and smart. Yet mother’s milk is much better than formula milk. Even the position of mother’s milk can not be replaced by anything, including infant formula. These ads are duping the public at the same time to launch a covert campaign.
Profanity is likely to persist as long as there is no regulation with strict sanctions governing the promotion of formula milk in Indonesia. Regulation that was already referring to the International Code made by the World Health Assembly (WHA) on the marketing of BMS. But it turns out sanctions provided for violations committed by only a reprimand, not a strict form of punishment. So its application in any field is not visible and the more covert campaign launched by formula milk companies.
International Code which is a reference to regulations in Indonesia, aims to promote nutritional adequacy and safety of babies. This was done by way of mother’s milk protect and maintain the feasibility of marketing co-BMS (BMS are). The code applies to all products marketed as BMS are totally or partially. Which includes of BMS include infant formula, milk continued, special milk, cereal, juice, mixed vegetables, and tea baby. In addition to organizing the marketing of BMS, this code also regulates the marketing of baby bottles and pacifiers.
Cow’s milk for baby cows, milk the mother to the baby’s mother
In addition to the lack of binding regulations, vigorous promotion of formula milk was also associated with the arrival information has not been right about the importance of mother’s milk and breastfeeding in public. In fact, the provision of mother’s milk is important for babies to get optimal nutrients that promote health and intelligence of babies. Not to mention other benefits such as immunoglobulins contained in mother’s milk and affection from the mother during breastfeeding.
