IAP policy on infant feeding.

Appropriate nutritional practices play a pivotal role in determining optimal health and development of infants. Concerned by the lack of uniform guidelines for appropriate infant feeding practices in the Indian context, the IAP Subspecialty Chapter on Nutrition conducted a Workshop to define a Policy on Infant Feeding (Appendix). Subsequently, these recommendations were endorsed as the official Indian Academy of Pediatrics Policy on Infant Feeding and as National Guidelines on Infant Feeding by the Food and Nutrition Board, Department of Women and Child Development, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.
