  1. The Facts - Breastfeeding GLOBAL • Exclusive breast feeding has increased by more than 20% from around 1995-2011 from 34% to 43% respectively (UNICEF, 2012) MALAYSIA NHMS III, 2006 • Ever Breast fed – upward trending, 95% • Exclusive Breast feeding –14.5% NPANM 2015 • 4 months exclusive breastfeeding  target: 40% (achievement in year 2012: 49.0% vs 2011 of 44.9%) • 6 months exclusive breastfeeding • target: 35% (achievement in year 2012: 30.5% vs 2011 of 23.3%) Source: UNICEF global database 2012, from multiple indicator cluster surveys (MICS), demographic health surveys (DHS) and other national surveys

  2. The Facts - Breastfeeding • WHO recommendation if breastfeeding is not possible • wet-nursing or a human milk bank • Home-prepared formula with micronutrient supplements • Infant formulas based on Codex standards

  5. The Facts - Breastfeeding Other factors based on 7 independent research papers from other countries lack of knowledge, support and help with BF difficulties. breastfeeding breaks are not available quality infant care near her workplace is inaccessible or unaffordable no facilities are available for pumping or storing milk • Some of the factors based on7 independent research papers from Malaysia • Inadequate health education • Work • Insufficient milk • late initiation of breastfeeding • breastfeeding difficulties • breastmilk expression Research has not shown that marketing of FMPC or pregnant/lactating milk products affects breastfeeding rate in Malaysia

  6. The Facts - Breastfeeding

  7. Why the need for FMPC? • Supplement the nutritional needs of children from the age of 1-9 years • FMPC products comply with the FMPC Standard (Regulation 91B of the Food Act & Regulations 1985) • Formulated to help meet the nutritional needs of children based on recommendations of the Malaysian Recommended Nutrient Intake (MRNI) guidelines to provide at least 1/3 of MRNI for children • Milk products are good sources of calcium and several other nutrients such as protein, vitamin A, vitamin B1, B6 & B12, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. • Milk products is also one of the most nutrient dense foods and is recommended by the Malaysian Food Guide Pyramid. • The structure/composition of FMPC is also amenable to taste innovation, able to take on the addition of functional ingredients and able to act as a carrier for mandatory/required nutrients for this population.

  8. The Facts – Nutrition Status of Children Children 1 to 3 years of age are the most susceptible to under-nutrition, children 4 to 6 years are at higher risk of being overweight Key recommendation by Malaysian Dietary Guideline to consume milk and milk products 2-3 servings daily

  9. Malaysia: Nutritional Intervention Plan needed • Studies have shown that: • More than 1/3 of children (aged 6 months to 12 years) did not achieve the Malaysian RNI for energy, Ca and vitamin D (Poh BK et al, 2013) • Significant decrease in Ca intake vs RNI in children (4-6 years) from both rural and urban areas (Abdul Aziz MF & Naleena Devi N, 2012) • Mean HAZ (height-for-age) and WAZ (weight-for-age) status was least satisfactory after about 6 months, suggesting a faltering in growth rate at an age that coincides with dependence on complementary feeding (Khor GL et al, 2009) Source: Poh BK et al, 2013.

  11. Phillipines case studies The National Nutrition Survey Data collected regularly between 2005 and 2011 by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), provides a clear picture of the effect of this regulation. • Overall Nutritional Impact, 2005-2011 as a result of the Revised Milk Code  Underweight malnutrition did not change (20.2%)  Stunting increased .5%, (33.1% to 33.6%)  Wasting increased 1.5% (5.8% to 7.3%)  Overweight malnutrition increased 1.8%(2.5% to 4.3%)

  12. Why the need for Maternal milk formulations? (1) • Maternal milk formulations are dietary milk supplements for pregnant and lactating women and are intended to meet their nutritional needs, and are not related to infant feeding. • Maternal milk plays an important role in supplementing the diet of pregnant and lactating women, so that they receive adequate nutrition to provide for their own needs during pregnancy and lactation, and to support the growth of the fetus. • Furthermore, maternal malnutrition is a key contributor to poor fetal growth, low birth weight (LBW) and infant morbidity and mortality and can cause long-term, irreversible and detrimental cognitive, motor and health impairments (Abu-Saad K & Fraser D, 2010; Victoria CG et al, 2008; Kanade AN et al, 2008) Source: Abu-Saad K and Fraser D, 2010.

  13. Why the need for Maternal milk formulations? (2) • Allen, L. SCN News. 1994; (11):21-4. Maternal Micronutrient Malnutrition: Effects on Breast Milk and Infant Nutrition, and Priorities for Intervention • From a global perspective, lactating women are more likely to suffer from micronutrient deficiencies than from a shortage of dietary energy or protein • Also, micronutrient deficiencies are more likely to affect breastmilk composition, and the development and nutritional status of the infant • Dietary interventions or supplementation can increase the secretion of many of these nutrients in breast milk, and improve infant nutritional status • Suggested Priorities for Maternal Micronutrient Supplementation During Lactation • Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin A, Vitamin D • Iodine, Selenium, Folic acid, Calcium, Iron, Copper, Zinc Source: Allen L.
