Breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding during the first half- year of life is an important factor that can prevent infant & childhood morbidity & mortality.
BREASTFEEDING PRACTICES AND IYCF (INFANT & YOUNG CHILD FEEDING)
a strategy that calls for the promotion of breast milk as the ideal food for the healthy growth & development of infants; & of exclusive breastfeeding for the 1st 6 months of life as the means to achieve optimal growth, development & health of newborns.
IYCF
The overall OBJECTIVE of IYCF
is to improve the survival of infants & young children by improving their nutritional status, growth & development through optimal feeding
KEY MESSAGES ON IYCF:
a. Initiate breastfeeding within 1 hour after birth
b. Exclusive for the 6 months of life- only breast milk & nothing else
c. Complemented at 6 months with appropriate foods, excluding milk supplements
d. Extend breastfeeding up to 3 years
means giving a baby only breast milk, & no other liquids or solids, not even water
EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING
BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING:
A. TO INFANTS:
1) Provides a nutritional complete food for the young infant
2) Strengthens the infants immune system, preventing many infections
3) Safely rehydrates & provides essential nutrients to a sick child, especially to those suffering from diarrheal diseases
4) Reduces the infants exposure to infection
5) Increases IQ points
B. TO MOTHER:
1) Reduces woman’s risk of excessive blood loss after birth
2) Provides natural methods of delaying pregnancies

2) Saves medical cost to families & government by preventing illnesses & by providing immediate postpartum contraception
Program in which after 6 months of age, all babies require other foods to complement breast milk, we call these complementary foods
COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING
COMPLEMENTARY FOODS SHOULD BE:
A. TIMELY- introduced when the need for energy & nutrients exceeds what can be provided through exclusive & frequent breastfeeding
B. ADEQUATE- provides sufficient energy, protein & micronutrients to meet a growing child’s nutritional needs
C. SAFE- are hygienically stored & prepared & fed with clean hands using clean utensils & not bottles & teats
D. PROPERLY FED- given consistent with a child’s signals of hunger & that meal frequency & feeding methods are suitable for the child’s age
Program in which one of the interventions to address the health & nutritional needs of infants & children & improve their growth & survival
Micronutrient supplementation-
Universal Vitamin A supplementation
a. 6-59 months and to children at risk
b. Postpartum women within 1 mo after delivery to increase breastmilk vit. A
c. Treatment for Children with signs of xeropthalmia
d. Children during emergencies following schedule for high risk children
Iron Supplementation
e. pregnant and lactating women and low birth weight babies and children 6-11 months of age.
f. anemic and underweight children 1-5 years of age shall be provided with iron supplements including adolescent girls enrolled in Grades 7-10.

h. Pregnant Women to reduce the risk of developing gestational hypertensive disorders and associated health problems
Program that Families shall be encourage and educated on the use of iodized salt in the preparation of foods for older infants and young children and even adults to prevent iodine deficiency disorders
UNIVERSAL SALT IODIZATION
An Act for Salt Iodization Nationwide (ASIN)” requires all producers and manufacturers of food-grade salt to iodize the salt that they produce, manufacture, import, trade or distribute
Asin Law Republic Act No. 8172
Program that pushed to improve the nutritional status of the populace to include the children.
