Half of young children (6-23 months) in Mexico do not meet complementary feeding practices guidelines. Structural, social, and individual barriers hinder optimal infant nutrition, requiring policy updates and improved primary care strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nutrition
  • Public Health Policy
  • Infant Health

Context:

  • Complementary feeding practices (CFP) are crucial for infant development and long-term health.
  • Mexico's Healthy and Sustainable Food Guidelines (GASS) provide recommendations for optimal CFP.
  • Assessing adherence to these guidelines is essential for identifying public health challenges.

Purpose:

  • Evaluate adherence to Mexico's Healthy and Sustainable Food Guidelines (GASS) for complementary feeding practices (CFP) in infants and young children.
  • Identify key barriers to achieving optimal CFP.
  • Formulate public policy recommendations to address identified barriers.

Summary:

  • Data from Ensanut Continua (2021-2023) revealed approximately 50.9% of children aged 6-23 months had a low adherence index to GASS recommendations.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Adherence decreased with increasing age.
  • Structural, social, cultural, and individual barriers significantly impact CFP.

    • Impact:

    • Improving CFP is imperative to uphold the "Right to Health" for children under 24 months.
    • Recommendations include updating regulations to align with current national/international guidelines and GASS.
    • Strengthening primary care through national implementation of the "Strategy of a Thousand Days" and health worker training is vital.
