Introduction: The primary reason that compels working mothers to decrease their ability to continue to breastfeeding successfully is their return to work. Attempts to continue breastfeeding at work encounters several difficulties. This study aims to provide an overview of the workplace environment and how facilities at the workplace affect breastfeeding in Indonesia. Methods: We used a qualitative approach to provide a detailed picture of the influence of workplace support for working mothers to perform breastfeeding. We enrolled working mothers (n=18) in Jakarta, as participants and obtained the following information from them: parity, type of family and type of work. Results: The findings provided the general overview of the workplace environment and identified three factors that affected breastfeeding: seeking information during pregnancy, expression of breast milk at office facilities and the problem faced by working mothers. Conclusion: Although the breastfeeding performance of most working mothers in this study comprised exclusive breastfeeding, some fed their infants with formula milk. This study suggests that working mothers who continue to breastfeed after returning to work need the support of their employers, co-workers and others in the workplace to ensure the provision of health facilities and the protection and dissemination the rights of breastfeeding working mothers that might lead them to discontinue their breastfeeding practice.

Child undernutrition continues to be a national concern in Indonesia, whereas childhood overweight/obesity rises. Economic development has led to wide availability of highly processed foods and beverages, with growing evidence that children are consuming commercial snack products during the critical complementary feeding period. This study assessed the prevalence and patterns of consumption of commercially produced snack foods and sugar‐sweetened beverages among Indonesian children. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted with 495 mothers of children aged 6–35 months living in Bandung City, Indonesia. Among all children, 81.6% consumed a commercial snack food and 40.0% consumed a sugar‐sweetened beverage in the day preceding the interview. At 6–11 months, 46.5% of children consumed a snack food and 2.0% consumed a sugar‐sweetened beverage. Snack foods were consumed 3 or more times a day by 60.0% of children 24–35 months of age. Sweet biscuits and savory snacks were the most commonly consumed snack foods; sweetened milks and sweetened teas were the most common beverages. Maternal education, child age, and consumption of a commercially produced complementary food were associated with snack food consumption. Factors associated with sugar‐sweetened beverage consumption were child age and consumption of a commercially produced complementary food or breastmilk substitute. These findings reflect a high presence of processed, high‐sugar/salt commercial snack products in the diets of children 6–35 months. National attention should focus on interventions to reduce reliance on processed snack products and increase consumption of nutrient‐rich, locally available foods during the complementary feeding period.
