National Guidelines on Infant and Young Child Feeding

The National Guidelines on Infant and Young Child Feeding provide recommended practices to ensure young children get proper nutrition for healthy growth and development. They emphasize exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, introducing safe and nutritious foods afterward, and continuing breastfeeding alongside complementary foods up to two years or beyond. The guidelines also highlight the importance of good hygiene, responsive feeding, and avoiding unhealthy practices like giving inappropriate foods or liquids. Overall, they aim to support caregivers in making informed decisions that promote the health and well-being of infants and young children.
