QAP has also developed leaflets and counselling tools on breastfeeding and expressing breastmilk for Tanzania - these are available in this resource library. Click IYCF.
NOTE: These tools were developed before the 2006 Consensus statement on HIV came out. Please review all HIV material to ensure that it is consistent with the consensus statement.
NOTE: WHO. Home modified animal milk for replacement feeding - is it feasible and safe? October 2006 www.who.int/child_adolescent_health/documents/a91064/en/ This document reviews the experience with the use of home-modified animal milk and possible ways to improve its nutritional composition. It indicates that home-modified animal milk should no longer be recommended for replacement feeding for infants aged less than 6 months, except as a short-term stop gap measure in situations where a suitable breast-milk substitute is not available.
