Abstract
The optimal feeding modality of infants born to HIV infected mothers in resource-limited settings is still the subject for debate. WHO guidelines recommends exclusive formula feeding wherever it is available, feasible, affordable, safe and sustainable (AFASS). In all other instances, exclusive breastfeeding and early weaning is recommended. However, formula feeding has been reported to be associated to a higher incidence of infant morbidity in previous studies. Aim of our study was to assess factors associated to (i) feeding practices and (ii) infant morbidity
