“…In addition, these studies were conducted in small samples and in other countries, which defined medical indications of infant formula supplementation differently from the United States (Biggs et al, 2018; Boban & Zakarija‐Grković, 2016; Tender et al, 2009). The onset and development of some medical indications may not begin until after hospital discharge; for example, the onset of jaundice typically ranges from 2 to 5 days of life (Flaherman & Maisels, 2017). ABM Clinical Protocols include provision of appropriate lactation management support, and it is unclear if hospitals reporting medical indications provide lactation management support before infant formula supplementation.…”

In-hospital infant formula supplementation of breastfed infants reduces breastfeeding duration, yet little is known about common reasons for infant formula supplementation. We examined the three most common reasons for in-hospital infant formula supplementation of healthy, term, breastfed infants in the US reported by hospital staff. Hospital data were obtained from the 2018 Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care survey (n = 2045), which is completed by hospital staff. An open-ended question on the top three reasons for in-hospital infant formula supplementation was analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis and the frequencies for each reason were reported. The top three most common reasons for in-hospital infant formula supplementation reported by hospital staff included medical indications (70.0%); maternal request/preference/feelings (55.9%); lactation management-related issues (51.3%); physical but non-medically indicated reasons (36.1%); social influences (18.8%); perceived cultural/societal/ demographic factors (8.2%) and medical staff/institutional practices (4.7%). These findings suggest that a variety of factors should be considered to address unnecessary infant formula supplementation. Lactation management support delivered in a timely and culturally sensitive manner and targeted to mother-infant dyads with potential medical and physical indications may reduce unnecessary inhospital infant formula supplementation.
