table_text: Breastfed children are much more likely to be fed in accordance with IYCF practices than non-breastfed children Forty-four percent of breastfed children age 6-23 months are fed from the appropriate number of food groups and fed the minimum number of times per day, compared with only 16 percent of non-breastfed children. Among both groups of children, providing a variety of foods from different food groups seems to be more of a problem than providing food frequently during the day. Increasing the diversity of foods given to children would help to meet the IYCF targets.
