Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding   The aim of the Global Strategy is to improve

– through optimal feeding – the nutritional status, growth and development, health, and

thus the survival of infants and young children.

It supports exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, with timely, adequate, safe and appropriate complementary feeding, while continuing breastfeeding for two years and beyond.

It also supports maternal nutrition, and social and community support.

YES

NO

NO

When the answer to ANY one of these questions

becomes YESThe mother’s chance of pregnancy is increased.

For continued protection, and to achieve child

needs to be used, and breastfeeding continue.
