ELACTA urges EU policymakers to prioritise professional breastfeeding support as a public health safeguard

Recent infant formula recalls linked to contamination concerns have once again drawn attention to a critical public health issue: when food safety systems fail, infants are put at risk. Breastfeeding and human milk feeding remain the safest and most resilient ways to nourish infants, and yet access to professional breastfeeding support across Europe remains insufficient.

In response to these events, the European Lactation Consultants Alliance (ELACTA) is calling on European policymakers to take stronger action to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding by ensuring families have access to qualified, evidence-based lactation care as part of routine healthcare services.
