Breastfeeding remains a challenge in China - the Chinese Nutrition Society continues to strongly advocate for breastfeeding.

breastfeeding has many benefits for both mothers and children. The International Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) has identified 1 to 7 August each year as World Breastfeeding Week, enabling society to actively encourage and support breastfeeding, broaden the connotation of breastfeeding and create a baby-friendly, mother-friendly social atmosphere.since 2013, the Chinese Nutrition Society has been in the name of the General Association through a series of academic seminars and publicity activities to call attention to the whole society to improve breastfeeding awareness. On the morning of July 28th, on the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week 2016, the seminar "Breastfeeding departs, mom are you ready" was held in Beijing. Co-sponsored by the Chinese Nutrition Society and Danon Newdishia, the conference aims to launch an initiative calling on all sectors of society to support breastfeeding through the exchange and analysis of breastfeeding in China in the near future. Professor Yang Yuexin, Vice President of the Chinese Nutrition Society, Professor Ma Patriotic, Professor Ding Gangqiang, Professor Sun Changxuan, Professor Guo Changjiang, Secretary-General Professor Guo Hongwei and the Chairman of the Provincial Nutrition Association, Vice Chairman of the Women's and Children's Nutrition Branch Professor Wang Zhixuan, Professor Zengguo, and other chinese nutrition experts and scholars attended the meeting, more than 30 news media reported.0-6 months of exclusive breastfeeding, knowledge also needs to know According to professor Yang Yuanxin, president of the Chinese Nutrition Society, the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding at least 6 months after birth, and the appropriate addition of complementary foods at the same time sustainable breastfeeding to 2 years of age or above. But at this stage, China's six-month exclusive breastfeeding rate is less than 28%. One of the keys to breast-feeding support is to do a good job in pregnancy and early lactation knowledge education and practical guidance.Professor Wang Xuan, Vice Chairman of the Maternal and Child Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society, specifically interpreted the dietary guidelines for infants within six months of age, emphasizing the importance of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life, and added recommendations for preparing for breastfeeding in dietary guidelines for pregnant women.Semen Wang's report the "State of Breastfeeding in China Survey" report released at the meeting found that mothers-to-be generally believe that breastfeeding is natural during pregnancy, so mothers-to-be have little knowledge and psychological preparation for breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, some mothers give up breastfeeding easily because of difficulties. All these further confirm the current situation of breastfeeding in China still needs to be improved dilemma. In support for breastfeeding, scientific research needs to be driven Professor Yang Said at the meeting, supporting breastfeeding also requires more research efforts, so conducting scientific research on breast milk and feeding has important implications for the practice and success of breastfeeding, which is relatively rare in China. The conference also released a study called "Muru". Leyla BOUMGHAR BOURTCHAI, research and development director for early-life nutrition in Danon Newdishia, said the study looked at 122 healthy breast milk and full-term children in Shanghai for a number of 24-hour dietary surveys over 42 days of early lactation, and evaluated the dietary guidelines for lactating women, as well as an analysis of the various components of breast milk. The preliminary results of the Muru study showed that there was an imbalance in dietary and nutrient intake in the group, such as at least 86% of breast milk products did not reach the recommended range, while at least 95.1% of breast milk calcium intake did not reach the recommended value, and sodium intake is very high. The study also analyzed the secretion types of breast milk lysose using advanced methods of LC-MS for the first time in China, providing new evidence for breast milk research in China. The study was supported by the Danon Newdishia Research Center.Multi-faceted support for breastfeeding, the responsibility of the whole society Chinese mothers in the post-partum discharge from the hospital sitting on the moon during the critical breastfeeding period, access to professional guidance is very few, almost an "empty window period", and the family members are mostly grandmothers and grandmothers concerned about breastfeeding topics, support from fathers is rarely observed. In addition, public places, especially in the work environment breastfeeding facilities are not complete, people around the understanding, to a large extent hinder the mother to insist on breastfeeding.Yang Yuxin, a professor , said the Chinese Academy of Nutrition has a duty to promote breastfeeding as its mission. She suggested that social and cultural research should be carried out to promote scientific breastfeeding based on practical impact and to promote the improvement of breastfeeding rates throughout society in many ways, and suggested that academia, the business community and the media should support and promote breastfeeding in terms of providing a wealth of scientific knowledge, paying attention to the construction of maternal and child nutrition and health at the grass-roots level, and paying attention to "family support". , published in the Lancet, a medical journal, suggests that quality breastfeeding could save 823,000 children's lives and add $102 billion to the global economy. Breast milk is a valuable asset for human growth and development, rich in more than 200 kinds of nutrients. Breastfeeding provides a good foundation for the health of all children and is effective in the short and long term, with incalculable nutritional and health values. But china's breastfeeding rate has been declining for 15 years, with a global rate of 40 per cent exclusive breastfeeding for 0-6 months, compared with 27.8 per cent in China. In real life, breastfeeding can be subject to many obstacles, such as inadequate milk in the initial stage, unskilled inability to get effective feeding, family problems, occupation, marketing and many other problems. It is precisely because of this that we need to work together to make the voices of professional groups and nutrition experts relevant to let the whole community know what we support, what we oppose, what our society as a whole needs for sustainable development, the healthy development of humanity as a whole, and why today's seminar is an ongoing call.The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends and calls upon all sectors of society (academic, business, and media1. To provide a rich form of scientific knowledge and publicity, covering a wider range of pregnant women, and to call on mothers-to-be to be psychologically prepared; 2. Pay attention to the construction of maternal and child nutrition and health at the grass-roots level: provide updated scientific knowledge, scientific feeding and nutrition security guidance programs and information, strengthen practical training of grass-roots personnel, expandto rural and remote areas; In China, such studies are relatively rare and have important guiding significance for the practice and success of breastfeeding; 4. The emphasis on "family support" requires knowledge promotion for families who directly care for pregnant mothers (husbands, grandmothers, grandmothers, grandmothers) and 5. Social support: social environment support.agreed with the experts and called on the public to give breast milk more understanding and tolerance. Breastfeeding is the most precious source of nutrition, both short-term and long-term mother and child have health effects, not only to provide children with the most needed psychological comfort to help establish a good mother-to-child relationship, breastfeeding is one of the most important links, the early life of 1000 days nutrition can affect the health of a person's life."sitting on the moon" dietary customs, with scientific nutrition concept to treat theafternoon meeting of social concern hot "sitting moon" dietary customs and nutrition concept was discussed. The meeting was co-chaired by Professor Yin Fengying, Executive Vice President of the Chinese Nutrition Society, and Professor Wang Zhiying, Vice Chairman of the Women's and Children's Nutrition Branch. At the meeting, experts on the "sitting on the moon" meal customs, "sitting on the moon" scientific nutrition concept to discuss, and "sitting on the moon" traditional customs and different regions of the moon food and beverage habits how to abandon the scientific in-depth discussion.Through discussion, the meeting reached a unanimous conclusion that sitting on the moon is the traditional custom of the Chinese nation, the moon meal is an essential element when sitting on the moon, to the maternal post-natal nutrition maintenance and physical recovery play a great help, and sitting on the moon is also one of the ways to maintain traditional family harmony. However, for the characteristics of local moon food and beverage, we should hold a "dialectical absorption" attitude, based on a balanced diet, a scientific view of breast nutrition needs, to avoid excessive intake of certain foods, malnutrition and other issues. Therefore, "sitting on the moon" and the moon meal is not necessary, but to be treated scientifically, do not blindly follow the public. As long as tradition is maintained, family harmony is maintained and maternal nutritional health is ensured by promoting maternal post-natal recovery, it is optionally reserved..
