N2 - Mothers are bombarded with information from a variety of sources regarding how to best feed their infants in the first year of life. Sources of information include expert-based recommendations, advice from family and community members, and cultural feeding practices. For first-time mothers, this can be confusing and anxiety provoking, particularly if guidelines from expert bodies vary. We are concerned about confusion in infant feeding guidelines and review some of the reasons about why these discrepancies exist.
