Mohamad Haidar and colleagues (December, 2017)¹ describe challenges in the management of nutritionally vulnerable infants in Iraq. They highlight the consumption of infant formula and inappropriate alternatives by malnourished infants and note that mothers report breastfeeding difficulties. They suggest that infant formula be distributed more widely as part of the emergency response. We are concerned that it was not emphasised that infant formula distributions must be carefully targeted, that the requirements for supporting infant formula feeding go well beyond just the supply, and that the usefulness of providing support for breastfeeding was not discussed.

伊拉克的婴儿配方食品：问题的一部分，而不是简单的解决方案

Mohamad Haidar及其同事（2017年12月）¹描述了伊拉克营养脆弱婴儿的管理挑战。他们强调营养不良的婴儿食用婴儿配方奶粉和不适当的替代品，并指出母亲报告母乳喂养困难。他们建议将婴儿配方奶粉作为紧急响应的一部分进行更广泛的分配。我们关注的是，没有强调必须认真针对婴儿配方奶粉的分配，支持婴儿配方奶粉喂养的要求远远超出了供应量，并且没有讨论为母乳喂养提供支持的有用性。
