Health-care professionals (HCP) have a responsibility to protect and promote maternal and infant health and breastfeeding is one of the most effective measures to support this. Increasing breastfeeding rates in Australia is crucial to improving population health, but the absence of robust policies, programmes and education for HCP undermines this effort. The pervasive marketing of commercial milk formulas (CMF), including sponsorship of HCP and their organisations, has introduced significant conflicts of interest that distort clinical practice, education, research and guidelines developed in the infant feeding domain. This paper calls on all HCP to seek independence from the CMF industry and to actively support breastfeeding in their practice.
医疗保健专业人员有责任保护和促进母婴健康，而母乳喂养是支持这一目标的最有效措施之一。提高澳大利亚的母乳喂养率对于改善民众健康至关重要，但缺乏针对医疗保健专业人员的有力政策、项目和教育削弱了这一努力。商业婴儿配方奶粉的广泛营销，包括对医疗保健专业人员及其组织的赞助，引发了重大利益冲突，扭曲了婴儿喂养领域的临床实践、教育、研究和指南。本文呼吁所有医疗保健专业人员摆脱商业婴儿配方奶粉行业的影响，并在实践中积极支持母乳喂养。
