Food and nutrition experts from the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), Prof. Ali Khomsan appealed to mothers not to give their children bottles and powdered milk instead of breast milk.
"Milk powder bottle and could not match exclusive breastfeeding, because it can make the proximity of children and mothers is reduced," he said to Legal at Binus International School, Serpong, Friday (07/29/2011).
If a mother has a high workload but wanted to breastfeed her baby, so he could squeeze the milk itself every day before work and put it in the fridge.
But to do that it takes a very strong effort from the mother. Not all women can do that. Only those who loved her son was the one who can do that.
"That requires patience from the mother. But if forced, bottle feeding and powder can be done," he explained.
A child, exclusive breastfeeding is required to drink from the age of 0-6 months. At age 6 months-1 year, a child can be soft and mushy foods, like milk porridge. 1 year of age onwards, children are allowed to consume foods of his parents.
"Depending on the growth of teeth. However, children aged 0-6 months, breast milk should still be given," he concluded.
