To report the introduction of breast milk substitutes and solid foods to Australian children between 1992 and 1995.
Analysis of data from the 1995 Australian National Health Survey. Infant feeding questions were asked by personal interview in respect to 3,252 children aged under four years of age.
By the age of 26 weeks, the majority of children had been given infant formula (56.9%) and solid food (61.5%). More than one-quarter (27.1%) of children received cow's milk regularly during the first 12 months. Only 7% of children were given solids in the first 12 weeks of life. Soy milk was given to 14.2% of children aged less than four years.
The majority of children in Australia are not being exclusively breastfed for six months as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The intake of cow's milk before 12 months of age and the timing of introduction of solids needs to be monitored. Future surveys should collect more detail about type of infant formula so that the proportion of infants receiving soy-based formula and other formula can be assessed.
报告1992年至1995年间澳大利亚儿童引入母乳代用品和固体食物的情况。
对1995年澳大利亚全国健康调查的数据进行分析。通过个人访谈询问了3252名4岁以下儿童的婴儿喂养问题。
到26周龄时，大多数儿童已食用婴儿配方奶粉（56.9%）和固体食物（61.5%）。超过四分之一（27.1%）的儿童在出生后的前12个月经常饮用牛奶。只有7%的儿童在出生后的前12周食用固体食物。14.2%的4岁以下儿童饮用豆奶。
澳大利亚的大多数儿童没有按照世界卫生组织（WHO）的建议进行6个月的纯母乳喂养。12个月龄前牛奶的摄入量以及固体食物的引入时间需要监测。未来的调查应收集更多关于婴儿配方奶粉类型的详细信息，以便评估食用大豆基配方奶粉和其他配方奶粉的婴儿比例。
