The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months after birth. The deuterium oxide dose-to-the-mother (DTM) technique is used to distinguish EBF based on a cut-off (< 25 g/day) of water intake from sources other than breastmilk. This value is based on a theoretical threshold and has not been verified in field studies. The aim of this study was to estimate the water intake cut-off value that can be used to define EBF practice. One hundred and twenty-one healthy infants, aged 2.5-5.5 months who were deemed to be EBF were recruited. After administration of deuterium to the mothers, saliva was sampled from mother and infant pairs over a 14-day period. Validation of infant feeding practices was conducted via home observation over six non-consecutive days with caregiver recall. A fully Bayesian framework using a gradient-based Markov chain Monte Carlo approach implemented in Stan was used to estimate the cut-off of non-milk water intake of EBF infants. From the original data set, 113 infants were determined to be EBF and provided 1500 paired mother-infant observations. The deuterium saliva concentrations were best described by two linked 1-compartment models (mother and infant), with body weight as a covariate on the mother's volume of distribution and infant's body weight on infant's water clearance rate. The cut-off value was based on the 90th percentile of the posterior distribution of non-milk water intake and was 86.6 g/day. This cut-off value can be used in future field studies in other geographic regions to determine exclusivity of breast feeding practices in order to determine their potential public health needs.
