Abstract
Piwoz and colleagues describe the lessons learned from breastfeeding promotion in relation to the need for improvement in complementary infant-feeding practices worldwide. They note that a major obstacle is the complexity of complementary feeding; not only are the messages regarding optimal complementary feeding difficult to articulate but measurement of these feeding behaviors is also problematic. The authors point out that indicators of breastfeeding developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) have served to focus attention on optimal breastfeeding for both education and assessment purposes. They then describe several aspects of complementary feeding (dietary diversity diet quality and feeding frequency) that should be included in any comprehensive set of infant-feeding indicators.
