Article Abstract
Objective: To update the prevalence of infant and young child feeding indicators (IYCFI) in children under 24 months in Mexico.
Materials And Methods: Ensanut 2018-19 national representative survey with probabilistic design. Popu-lation: Women 12-59 years and their children <24 months. The indicators proposed by the World Health Organization were assessed by sociodemographic variables of the mothers using the sample design. Wald's test was used to compare between categories.
Results: The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in children under six months was 28.3%, 42.9% of children under 12 months consumed infant formula and 29% continued breastfeeding at two years. Around 30% of children between 6 and 11 months did not meet the recom-mended minimum dietary diversity and only 49.4% consumed iron-rich foods.
Conclusions: There are improvements in breastfeeding practices in Mexico, although the figures are low. The coordinated contribution from all sectors of society is required to improve infant feeding practices.
