Infant Feeding and Nutrition Policy in Malaysia
Author: John Haaga
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Breast feeding
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This paper uses data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey to study trends and determinants of infant feeding choices in Peninsular Malaysia, 1950-1977. Such factors as ethnic group, level of education, and family income are studied as they affect choice between breastfeeding and artificial feeding (or a combination of the two), duration of breastfeeding, and choice and timing of supplementation. The author discusses implications of the findings for public health policy, and reviews literature on health consequences of infant feeding and child nutrition. An appendix studies correlates of re-test reliability in the infant feeding recall data.

Reversal of the Decline in Breastfeeding in Peninsular Malaysia?
Author: Julie DaVanzo
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Breastfeeding
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Data from the First and Second Malaysian Family Life Surveys, fielded in 1976 and 1988 respectively, are analyzed to examine long-term trends in breastfeeding in Peninsular Malaysia, educational and ethnic differences therein, and the quality of retrospective data on infant feeding. There was a steady decrease between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s in the percentage of babies who were ever breastfed, but there has been a nearly monotonic increase since 1975. Part of the observed change in overall breastfeeding rates is attributable to the changing composition of the Malaysian population. Over time, the percentages of births to population subgroups with higher rates of breastfeeding --particularly Malays and more highly educated women--have increased. However, there is also evidence of changes in women's rates of breastfeeding within these subgroups. Many Malaysian infants have a duration of total breastfeeding (including with supplementation) that is considerably shorter than the World Health Organization's recommended duration of exclusive (unsupplemented) breastfeeding (4 months). Moreover, nearly all Malaysian infants who are breastfed are first given supplementary food or beverage shortly after birth. Breastfeeding promotion efforts in Malaysia need to give more emphasis to the appropriate timing and types of supplementary feeding.
