Nutrient and promotion profile model. Ending the inappropriate promotion of food products for older infants and young children

Overview

Complementary feeding indicators from the WHO South-East Asia Region reflect suboptimal food intake in young children (8). Poor feeding practices and inaccessibility to healthy diets influence the rising double burden of malnutrition (9). WHO emphasizes a variety of foods, including animal source foods, fruit and vegetables, nuts, pulses and seeds and the use of suitable, nutrient-rich, home prepared and locally available foods for older infants and young children
