Abstract
The Italian Paediatric Societies recommend breastfeeding as the nutritional norm, unless
an informed choice of mothers or an acceptable medical reason for formula feeding exists.
Disappointingly, the 2014 Survey on Breastfeeding in Italy conducted by the Task
Force on Breastfeeding of the Ministry of Health (TAS) has showed inadequate breastfeeding
rates at Maternity discharge and later at 3 and 5 months of age. As a result,
TAS has prepared an Action Plan for breastfeeding, which unavoidably implies a pivotal
role for the paediatrician in supporting breastfeeding among their patients’ parents. Paediatricians
are called to show their positive attitude toward breastfeeding particularly
when managing controversial situations. Indeed, after careful scrutiny many maternal
conditions erroneously believed to be true contraindication to breastfeeding are better
considered as simple obstacles.
