Published in : 2001 Available in : English Keywords : IFE Core Group, infant feeding, manual, WHO, CONCERN, case studies This module covers how to feed infants, by breastfeeding and, when necessary, other options. It also addresses existing recommendations and protective policies, and gives guidance on how to provide adequate support for appropriate infant feeding. Module 1 provides an overall introduction to infant feeding in emergencies, and explains why it is an important concern. It discusses the many challenges, describes relevant aspects of the International Code of Marketing of Breast milk Substitutes, gives agreed Operational Guidance for emergency relief staff and policy makers, and suggests how to establish conditions that support breastfeeding and reduce dangers of artificial feeding. It is the first of two modules and can be used by itself, or as preparation for Module 2 (separate reference).
