Past Achievements, Present Challenges and Priority Actions for Infant and Young Child Feeding
This report reviews the developments in breastfeeding promotion in the years between the Innocenti Declaration in 1990 and 2005, such as the baby friendly hospital initiative. It identifies challenges that have presented themselves in the process, and sets the agenda for the future, reinforcing the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding (WHO, 2003) as the gold standard for a comprehensive approach to breastfeeding promotion and other feeding issues.
