The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child
Feeding(IYCF)
• Developed by WHO and UNICEF
to revitalize world attention on the
impact that feeding practices have
on infants and young children.
• Malnutrition has been responsible,
directly or indirectly, for over 50%
of the 10.9 million deaths annually
among children <5 years.
• Over two-thirds of these deaths
occur in the first year of life

Global situation (save the children-2012 report)
• 7.6 million children U5 yr die /year
• 2.6 million (35%) ---- malnutrition---1/3rd (10%) of
these deaths are due to micronutrient deficiencies
• 170 million (27% of all children globally )--stunted ( low Ht/age), 100 million of total in
Asia
• 100 million --- under weight (Low wt/age)---19%
of child death
• 60 million ---wasted (low wt/ht)
• 20 million/yr ---LBW (<2.5 kg)
The State of the World’s Children
2014
• More than 150 million children in
developing countries are malnourished.
• According to more recent estimates, IUGR,
stunting and severe wasting are responsible
for one third of under-5 mortality.

Protects mothers’ health • Reduces
risks of breast and ovarian cancer.
Benefits of Breastfeeding for the

The Baby-Friendly Way
TEN STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL BREASTFEEDING
Every facility providing maternity services and care for
newborn infants should:
1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care
staff.
2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy.
3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding.
4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within an half hour of birth.
5. Show mothers how to breastfeed, and how to maintain lactation even if they should be
separated from their infants.
6. Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breast milk unless medically
indicated.
7. Practise rooming in – allow mothers and infants to remain together – 24 hours a day.
8. Encourage breastfeeding on demand.
9. Give no artificial teats or pacifiers (also called dummies or soothers) to breastfeeding
infants.
10. Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them
on discharge from the hospital or clinic.

Complementary food
• Complementary feeding means giving other
foods in addition to breast milk. These other foods
are called complementary foods
• Complementary foods should be introduced from
6 months of age, when breast milk alone no longer
meets infant’s nutrient needs.
• According to age of the child food needs to have
the right amount, texture, variety, and should be
given in the right frequency and cleanly prepared.
• FATVAH ---frequency, amount, texture, variety,
active feeding, hygiene

information, give option regarding feeding difficulty & help
mother to select one option .
• Additional Support --- Refer to health facility, IYCF
support group in community, Health worker
• Thank the mother ,Set next meeting for F/up
Benefit of IYCF teaching/training
• Improvement in feeding practices
• Benefit to community
Helpful for onward
counseling and support
to mothers to carry out
recommended feeding
practices for their
infants and young
children from birth up
to 24 months of age at
any opportunity.
