                                Globally, only around 41% of infants under six months are exclusively breastfed, highlighting the significant role of breast-milk substitutes (BMS) in nutrition when breastfeeding is not possible or insufficient. BMS refers to any product marketed as a partial or total replacement for breast milk, with its use and marketing heavily regulated to protect infant health.
