Sažetak

Summary
Breastfeeding has multiple positive effects on children’s and mothers’ health, but also
on the environment and the economy. World Health Organization generally states
several factors lead to breastfeeding failure: inadequate maternity and paternity leave
legislation, inadequate professional breastfeeding support, hospital and health-care
practices and policies that are not supportive of breastfeeding, lack of breastfeeding
knowledge among healthcare professionals, and aggressive promotion of infant
formula. This paper provides overview of these factors in Croatia.
