To examine the sources and timing of advice formula feeding parents receive and how this and other factors influence the choice of formula product and formula preparation.
Components of a cross-sectional survey.
A child and family health service in New South Wales, Australia.
Parents (n = 153) who were fully or partially formula feeding infants aged 0-6 months and who visited the service's facilities or its social media site.
Type of formula, preparation of formula, and use and sources of formula feeding advice.
Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U or Pearson's chi-square tests, and inductive content analysis.
The most common source of formula feeding advice was the formula tin/packet (96.6%). Although 79.2% received advice from a health professional, only 18.9% reported receiving this advice before using formula. Approximately half (48.0%) of the parents chose a standard cow's milk-based formula. The most common reason for their choice of formula type/brand was a personal recommendation (53.0%). Parents' responses indicated that nearly half (46.3%) incorrectly prepared the formula.
Although health professional advice was widely received, this was rarely before starting formula. Despite the current national infant feeding regulations, parents who were not exclusively breastfeeding their infants did not always receive timely, health professional advice about formula feeding.
考察配方喂养父母所接受的建议来源和时间，以及这些建议和其他因素如何影响配方产品和配方准备的选择。
横断面调查的组成部分。
澳大利亚新南威尔士州的儿童和家庭健康服务机构。
正在用配方奶喂养 0-6 个月大婴儿的父母（n=153），他们全部或部分使用配方奶，并访问了该服务机构的设施或其社交媒体网站。
配方类型、配方准备、配方喂养建议的使用和来源。
描述性统计、Mann-Whitney U 或 Pearson's chi-square 检验和归纳内容分析。
配方喂养建议最常见的来源是配方奶粉罐/包装（96.6%）。尽管 79.2%的父母接受了健康专业人士的建议，但只有 18.9%的人在使用配方奶之前接受过这种建议。大约一半（48.0%）的父母选择了标准的牛奶基配方。他们选择配方类型/品牌的最常见原因是个人推荐（53.0%）。父母的回应表明，近一半（46.3%）的人错误地准备了配方奶。
尽管广泛接受了健康专业人士的建议，但这很少是在开始使用配方奶之前。尽管目前有国家婴儿喂养规定，但并非所有母乳喂养婴儿的父母都能及时获得关于配方奶喂养的健康专业建议。
