Read the passage given below and answer Q. 97 to 100.
Given the evidence we have, that early and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months can contribute substantially to enhance child survival, and good complementary feeding can contribute to reduction in stunting, it becomes imperative that action on early nutrition must be taken. A pilot project provides useful model to set up delivery mechanism. It used both community based and facility based strategy for promotion of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF). The IYCF practices skilled counselling, better supervision and monitoring with the aim of reaching out to all pregnant and lactating women, to contribute to the nutrition and health status of their children under two.
A base-line pre-intervention evaluation was done to document feeding practices. The implementation included building capacity at the grassroots and support system at the block and district level. This was achieved through engaging 48 local graduate women ‘mentors’ -, eight in each of the six blocks. These ‘mentors’ were trained as trainers with knowledge and skills of counselling on feeding practices. They were also asked to further train a team of 3-4 ‘Village level counsellors’ from among Anganwadi workers, ASHA, Dai (Traditional Birth Attendant) or a link mother from the same village, who formed a ‘Mother Support Group’. These did home-visiting and facility based counselling to provide education to mothers and families on breastfeeding and complementary feeding. They used ‘counselling guides’ received along with their training, for the purpose of counselling. They also used IEC approach and materials like pamphlets and posters etc. The village level counsellors helped and supported mothers with feeding difficulties, and referred them to block level counselling centres if they were not able to solve any problem.
The post intervention evaluation showed significant improvement in four feeding practices, namely, reduction in prelacteal feeding from 44.4% to 28.3%, increase in initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth from 39.2% to 57.9%, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months from 6.85% to 24.9% and introduction of complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding between 6-9 months from 4.6% to 35.8%.
