Breastfeeding Replacement Feeding Study Sample Clauses

Breastfeeding Replacement Feeding Study. The current WHO recommendations regarding infant feeding practices for HIV-infected mothers state that unless an acceptable, feasible, affordable, sustainable and safe (AFASS) replacement feed is available, HIV-infected mothers should practice exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. At 6 months, continuation of breastfeeding and introduction of complementary foods is recommended if an AFASS solution is still not available, but breastfeeding should stop once a nutritionally adequate and safe diet without breast milk can be provided. Rapid cessation of breastfeeding is not recommended because of possible negative effects on the mother and infant. There are several issues relating to infant feeding practices after 6 months of age that are not addressed by these recommendations. In settings where it can be safely used, commercial powdered infant formula milk is a suitable alternative to breastfeeding; however, in settings where the use of powdered formula milk is not safe or feasible, there is no clear guidance regarding what feeding options would be feasible and would support satisfactory infant growth for HIV-infected mothers who have breastfed their infants during the first 6 months of life but who want to stop breastfeeding in order to reduce the risk of HIV transmission through breast milk. RUTF and enriched weaning porridges, such as those with whole milk powder and LNS, are possible replacement feeds that could assist HIV-infected mothers to safely stop breastfeeding at 6 months because both will provide macronutrients and micronutrients equivalent to breast milk. In addition, both are likely to be culturally acceptable and feasible. In Project Year Two and contingent on funding and discussions with XX, XXXXX-2 and XX will conduct a study in Malawi to assess whether HIV-exposed infants adapt better to RUTF or a weaning porridge enriched with milk powder and LNS as substitutes to breastfeeding between 6 and 12 months of age, and determine which better supports satisfactory growth when given as replacement feeds to HIV-exposed infants between 6 and 12 months of age. IR 2.2 COST-EFFECTIVE AND USER-FRIENDLY ASSESSMENT, M&E, COSTING AND PLANNING METHODS AND TOOLS DEVELOPED In Project Year Two, FANTA-2 will engage in a consultative process with USAID, IPs and other stakeholders to establish priority areas for developing M&E methods and tools, taking into account the amounts and sources of available funding. To gain input and consensus, FANTA-2...
