While WHO’s Guiding Principles for Complementary Feeding of the Breastfed Child still largely influences the design and implementation of nutrition programs for complementary feeding, implementers—such as caregivers—often face difficulties applying these guidelines to local contexts. This blog discusses the challenges caregivers may face when using complementary feeding methods in their day-to-day lives, including the local food environment, picky eaters, and parenting and feeding styles, among others. Alive & Thrive Inspire invites readers to engage in the conversation surrounding what tools and approaches would be useful for overcoming these challenges.
