Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices - Part II Measurements

This publication results from the collaboration of several organisations. This is a series of documents on indicators to assess infant and young children feeding. They include an operational guide on measurement issues and an update on the indicator values for 54 countries using data from Demographic and Health Surveys. 

This second document provides tools for the collection and calculation of the indicators. It is intended for use by managers of large-scale population-based surveys that will collect information on the status of feeding practices among infants and young children less than 2 years of age.
