Infant feeding practices in Mexico improved significantly, with increased exclusive breastfeeding and decreased formula use before 2021. However, positive trends slowed post-pandemic, highlighting the need for continued support for optimal infant nutrition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nutrition
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Child feeding practices are crucial for infant health and development.
  • Understanding trends in infant feeding is essential for public health interventions.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted infant feeding behaviors.

Purpose:

  • To describe trends in infant feeding practices in Mexico before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To analyze changes in breastfeeding and commercial infant formula use.
  • To identify trends using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut) from 2012 to 2022.

Summary:

  • Exclusive breastfeeding prevalence in infants under six months increased from 14.8% in 2012 to 33.6% in 2021-22.
  • Commercial infant formula consumption in infants under 12 months decreased from 62.8% in 2012 to 42.8% in 2021-22.
