Our Objectives

HKIYCNA Supports Breastfeeding

The HKIYCNA fully supports breastfeeding. It also supports the WHO recommendation that breast milk is ideal for infants and that exclusive breastfeeding should be encouraged for the first six months of life. The Association considers that Hong Kong currently needs an integrated approach for the promotion of breastfeeding. For mothers who cannot breastfeed or need infant formula products as a supplement, we feel obliged to provide appropriate information and advice to them in order to ensure that babies and infants receive the best nutrition.
