The value of breast milk The value of breast milk to the national economy in to the national economy in

IndiaIndia• National production of breast milk by all mothers in

India for the children they were breastfeeding at the time of the estimate was about 3944 million liters over 2 yrs.

• If the breast milk produced were replaced by tinned milk, it would cost 118 billion Rupees.

• If imported, the breast-milk substitutes would cost 4.7 million USD.

• If breastfeeding practices were optimal, breast milk production would be twice the current amount, doubling the savings by fully utilizing this “national resource”.

This causes her supply to diminish

Exactly the opposite of whatWe want to happen!

New 2006 WHO GuidanceNew 2006 WHO Guidance ((HIV and 0-6 Months)

• Exclusive breastfeeding does carry lower risk of HIV transmission than mixed feeding

• HIV-infected infants should continue to be breastfed

• Repeated assessments of feeding choice with mother

• Breastfeeding beyond 6 months may be best for some HIV-exposed infants

• Counselling should focus on 2 main options (replacement feeding and exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months), with other local options discussed only if mother interested

• Home-modified animal milk no longer recommended for all of first 6 months – only to be used as short-term measure

Slide 51

• The state shall regard the raising the level of nutrition and the standard of living of it’s people and the improvement of public health as amongst it’s primary duties _ _.
