“…Since few studies [9–12, 15, 16, 19–23] have conducted similar investigations, this pilot study provides important data on differences between professionals’ perceptions and parents’ perceptions and subsequent behaviour in regard to infant feeding, and highlights a number of key issues important to developing future guidelines. Except for one earlier study [19] the current study is the only one to recruit both paediatricians and GPs.…”

“…Different guidelines for feeding practices and nutrient requirements have been released over the years [2–8]. However, the general observation is that parents’ dietary practices are incongruent with the guidelines [9–16]. A recent survey of 1184 families in France highlighted the low prevalence and duration of breastfeeding and the early abandonment of infant formulas for the use of cow’s milk, while the introduction of solid foods was done within the recommended time range [16].…”

Background: Despite several years of guidance on infant feeding, there has been only a slight change in consumer compliance. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse parents feeding practices, explore physicians’ advice about infant feeding and subsequent parent’s adherence to advice. Methods A multicentric cross-sectional qualitative and descriptive self-report online study was conducted in volunteers to participate in the study. Results Fifty-four physicians (paediatricians and general practitioners) and 600 parents of infants were recruited. Of the infants, 20.2% presented at inclusion with at least one type of functional gastrointestinal disorder. The breastfeeding prevalence was quite low (37.3%). The main initial deviance from guidelines said they observed in infant feeding was the early use of cow’s milk. More than two-thirds of infants older than 8 months were drinking cow’s milk. The introduction of solid foods was globally in line with recommendations. Most physicians gave advice about the different aspects of infant feeding but were seeking more information, as did the parents. A discrepancy between the physicians’ statements and the parents’ perceptions was observed. However the majority (95.4%) of parents reported that they followed totally or partially the advice received, especially by abandoning subsequently the use of cow’s milk in favour of a formula. The main reason for not adhering to the advice was that they did not consider it suitable for their infant and they preferred to rely on their feelings or recommendations from familiars. Conclusions This survey provides good insights into parents’ infant feeding practices together with the advice given by their doctor. The gap between practices and current guidelines is notable only for breast-feeding and use of formula. Despite several guidelines professionals and parents seek nutrition information. It highlights the need to deliver consistent, relevant, and less confusing messages about infant feeding.

“…It is important to understand the enablers and barriers to using professional sources of advice so these professionals can be best enabled to meet the needs of all parents. In a French national survey, mothers were more likely to use professional sources (i.e., medical advice) to inform their infant feeding practice if they were younger (less than 30) and first time mothers (Chouraqui et al, ). The current study did not find these associations with age and parity for formula advice, which indicates that these differences do not impact whether mothers used professional sources for formula feeding advice.…”

“…Mother's age and education were included as these are known to be associated with accessing general parenting advice (Eisenberg et al, ). Primiparous, compared with multiparous, was included as second time mothers may rely on knowledge gained previously and not seek any additional advice (Chouraqui et al, ). The feeding group at T1 was included as this accounts for the mother's recent feeding experience; that is, those formula feeding at T1 (when their infant was under three months) have been feeding in this way for a longer time than those that were breastfeeding at T1.…”

Breastfeeding is beneficial to both the mother and infant, yet many infants are either partially or fully fed with formula milk. Those parents feeding with formula receive less support from professional sources than those breastfeeding and may rely on more non‐professional sources for advice, and this contributes to negative emotional experiences such as guilt. This paper explores the sources of advice for formula feeding, factors associated with using professional or non‐professional sources and compares these sources with those used for breastfeeding advice. A secondary analysis of Australian survey data from 270 mothers was performed. Mothers of six‐month‐old infants participated in an online survey, providing information on advice they received or read about formula feeding and/or breastfeeding from professional and non‐professional sources. A fifth of mothers who were formula feeding did not receive any formula feeding advice from professional sources, and only a small fraction (4.5%) of mothers breastfeeding did not received any breastfeeding advice from professional sources. Compared with those mothers breastfeeding receiving breastfeeding advice, fewer mothers formula feeding receive formula feeding advice from both professional and non‐professional sources. The tin of formula was the most used source of formula advice. Mothers feeding with formula at six months were more likely to have received formula feeding advice from professional sources if they had been fully formula feeding before their infant was under the age of three months. Further research is needed to understand the specific barriers to accessing formula feeding advice and what other factors influence access to formula feeding advice.
