Summary Indicators for Infant and Child Feeding Practices: An Example from the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2000 (2002)
Appropriate infant and child feeding practices are essential to meet the nutritional needs of children in the first years of life. Nationally representative data on infant and child feeding practices and the nutritional status of children were collected as part of the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey 2000 (EDHS). This note presents summary findings of the EDHS infant and child feeding information and includes recommendations for integration of relevant behavior change components into maternal and child health and nutrition programming.
