Abstract

Breast and weaning practices have a major effect on short term and long term health and nutritional well being of infants and young children. In India, breast feeding has been the traditional way of feeding the newborn. It lays the foundation for their healthy psychosocial development. Besides, providing perfect nutrition for infants, it also immunizes the child against common infections.
