| Sumario: | Abstract in English, Spanish 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. |
