ABSTRACT

Objective. Estimate breastfeeding gaps in Mexico to achieve the 2030 global nutrition goals and provide public policy recommendations. Materials and methods. Data from women 12-59 years old and their children ‹24 months was analyzed using the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut, in Spanish) 2021 to 2023 to calculate breastfeeding indicators. The gaps to achieve the 2030 breastfeeding goals were estimated through comparison with national trends, considering the effectiveness of interventions in contexts similar to Mexico. Results. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in children ‹6 months is 34.2% and 43% for continued breastfeeding at two years. Breastfeeding prevalence is lower among women with lower parity and with paid employment, and higher among women with a low Well-being Conditions Index at the household level and those who received previous information about breastfeeding during pregnancy or in consultation. With the current trend, it is estimated 42.5% of EBF by 2030. The 2030 global nutrition goal of 70% EBF will only be achieved if health and community personnel are trained to provide breastfeeding counseling, if the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative is strength ened, if there is compliance with the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes, and if paid maternity leave is extended in Mexico. Conclusions. It is necessary to implement policies and actions from different sectors that facilitate breastfeeding to achieve 2030 global nutrition goals.
