    Author: UNICEF.
    Journal: Assignment Child; 1981 Feb; 55-56():19-24. PubMed ID: 12264012.
    Abstract:
    In all regions of the developing world, UNICEF cooperates in various activities and services in support of breastfeeding and appropriate weaning practices, some of long standing. In May 1981, on the basis of its own field research and of national and international studies, the UNICEF Secretariat in New York submitted a report on infant and young child feeding to its Executive Board. Excerpts concerning the main areas of UNICEF cooperation in programs to support breastfeeding are given here, covering the following areas: surveillance of breastfeeding trends; orientation and training of health professionals and other health workers; orientation of teachers and extension workers; information material for mothers; health services practices; nutrition programs for women and children; professional health organizations and other nongovernmental organizations; information media; social support systems; and code of marketing of breast milk substitutes.
