Published in : 2010 Available in : English Keywords : Stunting This technical brief discusses the negative effects of stunting and the steps we can take to prevent them. It is the second in a series of technical briefs that address the continuum of care for good infant and young child feeding, from initiation of early and exclusive breastfeeding through complementary feeding in later infancy and the second year of life. Alive & Thrive aims to improve feeding practices during this critical period to save lives, prevent malnutrition, and promote optimal growth. The series is developed by the Alive & Thrive team: AED, BRAC, GMMB, IFPRI, Save the Children, UC-Davis, and World Vision.
