Abstract

It is estimated that 1 out of every 3 malnourished children lives in India and malnutrition is the leading cause of childhood mortality. Optimal infant and young child feeding practices determine the health and survival of infants and young children. Government of India has given the National Guidelines for Infant and Young Child Feeding (NGIYCF), but optimal IYCF practices are not reflected in the results of national surveys. With urbanization and increased literacy rates among females, female employment is increasing. Working women find it even more difficult to practice these guidelines. They need more support from government authorities and their families. Thus, present study was planned to assess the level of awareness and practices opted by the working women and the factors influencing implementation of these guidelines.
