JAKARTA - UNDER a law to be enforced from October, Indonesian women who refuse to breastfeed their newborn babies may face jail sentences or big fines for denying their children's right to six months of exclusive breast milk.

Under Article 128 of the 2009 Law on Health, it is stipulated that babies have such a right unless their mothers cannot fulfil their obligation due to medical problems.

Article 200 adds that a mother who declines to exclusively breastfeed her children will face a maximum of one year in prison or a 100 million rupiah (S$15,100) fine.
Professor Sarsintorini Putra, a law expert, said on Tuesday that other people, including employers, who prevent women from breastfeeding their children would also face punishment.

The law says that employers that do not support the breastfeeding movement will be imprisoned or fined.

Though passed by the House of Representatives on Oct 13 last year, the law did not come into effect immediately, due to the absence of government regulations that would allow its implementation.

In a further move, Indonesia's Health Ministry is working on a decree to restrict advertisements on baby-formula milk.

"I don't think there will be much opposition to this," Health Minister Endang Sedyaningsih said, after the unveiling of the "10 steps to successful breastfeeding" campaign on Sunday.

"As of the beginning of the year, we (have) stopped accepting sponsorships from baby-formula milk producers for institutions under the ministry."

The 10 steps include a public-awareness campaign targeting pregnant women on the importance of breastfeeding; the provision of assistance for breastfeeding within the first hour of birth, and for breastfeeding on demand; the need to restrict infant intake to only breast milk and the prohibition of pacifiers; and the promotion of breastfeeding support groups in communities.

A national survey carried out between 2004 and 2008, monitoring exclusive breastfeeding rates for infants under six months, found that in 2004, the rate reached 58.9 per cent but decreased to 56.2 per cent in 2008, after reaching 62.2 per cent in 2007.
