Published in : 2004 Available in : English The guiding principles that follow have been prepared to help prevent increased morbidity and mortality; they serve as a basis for action and are intended: —to clarify that optimal practices for feeding infants and young children during emergencies are essentially the same as those that apply in other, more stable conditions; —to inform decision-makers about the key interventions required to pro- tect and promote optimal feeding for infants and young children that should be routinely included in any emergency relief response; —to provide a starting point for organizing pragmatic, sustained inter- ventions that will ensure optimal feeding and care for infants and young children during emergencies.
