“…As part of its global work to strengthen newborn nutrition, PATH developed the Mother‐Baby Friendly Initiative Plus (MBFI+) model, which focuses on increasing access to and intake of human milk in a comprehensive approach that integrates skilled lactation support, kangaroo mother care (KMC) and provision of safe DHM, when needed (DeMarchis et al, 2017 ; PATH, 2019 ). This model, inspired by the comprehensive approach utilized by Brazil's nationalized HMB program (Soares, 2020 ), positions the use of DHM as a bridge to a mother's own milk, while her milk supply is being established, used only when needed and only as a replacement of formula feeds, not of mothers’ own milk (Bagga et al, 2022 ). With technical support from PATH, Kenya's Ministry of Health established the country's first HMB at Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Nairobi, as an integrated MBFI+ approach to promote equitable access to human milk through the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding and the provision of DHM only when necessary through an appropriately established HMB (PATH, 2019 ).…”
