    Estimates of the quality of complementary feeding among Vietnamese infants aged 6-23 months varied by how commercial baby cereals were classified in 24-h recalls

    As a part of the World Health Organization (WHO) questionnaire capturing dietary information for a 24- hour period of children ages 6 to 23 months, the authors identified different scenarios to classify commercial baby cereals. The scenarios affected the population-level estimates of dietary quality.

    Infant formula feeding at birth is common and inversely associated with subsequent breastfeeding behavior in Vietnam

    This study is among the first to investigate the effect of early introduction of infant formula on subsequent feeding practices with a large sample size and innovative approaches. Findings suggest that in Vietnam, infant formula feeding during the first three days after birth was associated with increased subsequent infant formula feeding and the early cessation of breastfeeding. This underscores the need to make early, exclusive breastfeeding normative and to create environments that support it.
