Synopsis (short abstract) Breastmilk alone is ideal to start a child s life. It should be fed alone for the first 6 months of life. However, after this period additional foods are needed. The foods that are given in addition to breastmilk are called complementary foods. To make sure that young children grow well and stay healthy, they need complementary foods that are nutritious and safe and are fed in adequate amounts. This recipe booklet fills an important gap: it provides information and guidance on th e selection and preparation of locally available, nutritious and safe complementary foods that are easy to prepare for feeding infants and young children, aged 6 to 24 months. It is aimed at community nutrition promoters, peer educators and other development agents from the health, community development and agricultural sectors working with family and community groups.
