Abstract

Exclusive breast feeding up to six months and complementary up to two years old is recommended by the World Health Organization. However, several factors contribute to early weaning, including over-advertisement of breast feeding substitutes and the influence of health professionals involved in the process. Understanding that this is a public health issue due to the many problems caused by this process in the health of the children involved, this article analyzes aspects of the design and implementation of regulatory frameworks in the field of promotion and exposure of foods for nursling and children in their first infancy in order to contribute to the reflection on the challenges present in the process of regulation of these products in Brazil.
