Abstract

Introduction: Responsive feeding, the age and developmentally appropriate interactions between caregivers and infants and young children (IYC) 6-23 months, represents a critical component of complementary feeding to promote optimal healthy growth and development. A quantitative indicator to measure responsive feeding at a population level is lacking and its development remains urgent. Towards this goal, we examined data on responsive feeding from caregivers of IYC in poor regions of Peru, Nicaragua, and Indonesia where malnutrition remains prevalent.
