Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding

Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding is an international effort to promote healthy eating habits for babies and young children. It encourages exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by safe, nutritious complementary foods up to two years or beyond. The strategy aims to improve child survival, growth, and development, while supporting mothers with proper guidance, healthcare, and policies. Its goal is to ensure children get the best start in life through sustained, evidence-based feeding practices that foster lifelong health and reduce the risk of illness.
