| الوصف: | Abstract: An adequate nutrition and feeding during infancy and early childhood is essential for assuring that children reach their full potential in relation to growth, health and development. Despite the scientific evidence that highlights the importance of breastfeeding for the baby, the mother, family, and society, this form of feeding is poorly incentivized in Costa Rica. Since 2011, The Research Institute of Health (INISA) of the University of Costa Rica developed the teaching extension project, “Promotion of breastfeeding and nutrition of children under 1 year in the community” (ED-2842 PROLAMANCO Project). Moreover, it was created as a response to the necessity of health education in the subject matter of breastfeeding and nutrition for children during their first year of life presented by the mothers, family, and professionals related to the care of children in the community. Some results of the PROLAMANCO project are presented. |
