The Community Infant and Young Child Feeding Counselling Package is a resource designed to equip community workers (including community health workers and volunteer health workers), and primary health care staff to support mothers, fathers, and other caregivers to optimally feed their infants and young children. The training component is intended to prepare community health workers and volunteer health workers with technical knowledge on the recommended breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices for children from 0 up to 24 months, enhance their counseling, problem solving and reaching-an-agreement (negotiation) skills, and prepare them to effectively use the related counselling tools and job aids.
