Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
First year of life is very crucial for growth and development. Adequate nutrition through correct feeding practices not only improves the growth but also decreases infections and morbidities during this period. is review is an attempt to correlate feeding practices with growth during infancy through an online search of longitudinal studies. Exclusive beast feeding for first 6 months followed by nutritionally adequate and safe complementary feeding at 6 mo of age are positively associated with growth during infancy and negatively associated with infections which can cause growth faltering at this age. No significant positive impact of reducing the age (< 6 months) for introduction of complementary food was found on linear growth among low income group. Current IYCF guidelines are perfect for developing countries like India but there is a need to educate appropriate feeding practices to mothers which can proof useful in bringing down the level of childhood undernutrition.
