Joint Committee on Infant and Young Child Feeding

The Joint Committee on Infant and Young Child Feeding (JCIYCF) is a group of experts who provide guidelines and recommendations to promote optimal nutrition and feeding practices for infants and young children. They focus on encouraging exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by appropriate complementary foods, to support healthy growth and development. The committee helps health professionals and policymakers develop effective programs and policies, ensuring children receive the best nutrition possible during their early years. Their work is based on the latest scientific evidence to improve child health outcomes worldwide.
