Guidelines for young child feeding in the Caribbean--Part. II. Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute.
This is the second of a three-part series by the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute (CFNI) on revised guidelines for young child feeding in the Caribbean. In Part 1, the guidelines dealt with the period before birth. These covered maternal nutrition and guidelines for promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding. This part covers the broad area of breastfeeding, nutrition of the newborn with low birthweight or other special requirements, and replacement feeding for infants who are not breastfed. It also discusses the introduction of complementary foods with emphasis on the continuation of breastfeeding for two years and beyond.
