Preface
The report of “Capacity Building Training on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Counselling for 10 Districts of Haryana” is an example of the recognition of the true need to build skills of health workers for counseling on breastfeeding and infant feeding decisions. These issues have been in discussion on the global and national agenda for over twenty years ever since 1993 when W.H.O. provided the first ever training course for health workers. This effort of BPNI in partnership with Government of Haryana would lead to further training of family level workers who in turn would be able to counsel mother and family members. It is crucial that quality of training is maintained, as it is not like routine passing of information. In this case, it is actually learning to understand and pass on skills on how breastfeeding is controlled by hormones, especially the flow of mothers’ milk from breast to the baby. It is so much under the influence of state of mind of the mother. And It’s her confidence that matters and therefore training need to focus around that skill building that’s why its so special.
We thank Government of Haryana for taking these steps and hope that these are continued effectively down to family level.
BPNI has been pioneering this effort in India since 22 years and led the development of unique world class training programme based on WHO materials, and it will continue to update it year after year incorporating latest scientific and programmatic needs.
I wish every success to the efforts of programme managers and the health workers who are keenly involved in this work.

Introduction
This is the report of an innovative collaborative training programme on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Counselling implemented in the state of Haryana, India, by the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) – Haryana along with Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI). The programme included training of Middle Level Trainers (MLTs) for Medical officers, AYUSH Doctors, Staff Nurses, Nutritionists, Dentists, Public Health Nurses (PHNs) and Supervisors of 10 districts of Haryana. A total of 95 MLTs were trained over a period of one month (two were held in the month of March & two were held in the month of April 2014).
Importance of Optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) for Child Survival and Nutrition The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), India’s flagship programme, aims to lower down maternal and infant mortality. Government of India seeks to work towards bringing down IMR faster than what is going on now. Early and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months have been recognised to be key interventions for this purpose. The recommended optimal feeding of children is to initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth, practicing exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding through the second year of life along with timely, appropriate and adequate complementary feeding from the family pot after 6 months.
The National Guidelines on Infant and Young Child Feeding, Government of India (2006) point out that malnutrition among children occurs almost entirely during the first two years of life and is virtually irreversible after that. These guidelines call for building skilled support to women through health care system. National Nutrition Policy and Plan of Action on Nutrition included specific activities like “Ensuring that health care providers received high quality training in breast feeding and appropriate complementary feeding practices, Lactation management etc., using updated training material and techniques”..
Guidelines on Enhancing Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (2013) by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India has also emphasised a strong need for capacity building of the health care providers in the institutions as well as the community.
The Infant Milk Substitutes Feeding Bottles, and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act 1992, Amendment Act 2003, which recognise that child mortality is closely linked with inappropriate feeding and malnutrition, and poor infant feeding is caused by pervasive promotion of baby foods, against little promotion of breastfeeding by the State, and this is a contributing factor to malnutrition and deaths of children.
Relevance of Breastfeeding and Optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) for Child Survival and Nutrition The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding as well as the National guidelines on infant and young child feeding in India recommend early initiation of breastfeeding within one hour and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health. Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond.1,2

The Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding also states that “Even though it is a natural act, breastfeeding is also a learned behaviour. Virtually all mothers can breastfeed provided they have accurate information, and support within their families and communities and from the health care system. They should also have access to skilled practical help from, for example, trained health workers, lay and peer counsellors, and certified lactation consultants, who can help to build mothers’ confidence, improve feeding technique, and prevent or resolve breastfeeding problems.”
Scientific evidence is available to establish breastfeeding and optimal IYCF practices as an effective tool to improve child health, prevent malnutrition and reduce neonatal, infant and child mortality. Initiation of breastfeeding within an hour of birth is known to reduce infection specific neonatal mortality, and this impact is independent of the effect of exclusive breastfeeding during the first month of life.3 Globally sub-optimal breastfeeding is estimated to be responsible for 1.4 million child deaths and 43.5 million Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), with non-exclusive breastfeeding during 0-6 months accounting for 77 percent (1.06 million) of the deaths and 85 percent of the DALYs. Partial breastfeeding (breastmilk plus other milks or foods) increases child mortality by 2.8 times as compared to exclusive breastfeeding.4 A systematic review of effective interventions for improving child survival concluded that for three major causes of child morbidity and mortality i.e. neonatal sepsis, diarrhoea and pneumonia, universalization of breastfeeding (exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding for second six months) is a highly effective preventive intervention which could prevent 13% of all child deaths. An additional 6% death can be prevented with appropriate complementary feeding. 5 It is well documented that optimal breastfeeding reduces the risk of infectious diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia sub.6,7Optimal complementary feeding could substantially reduce stunting and related burden of disease.8 Breastfeeding may also enhance effect of some vaccine.9 In addition to preventing morbidities and mortality in children, breastfeeding also have long term effects on health and have a protective role in hypertension, diabetes type II, obesity and hypercholesterolemia.10
Status of IYCF practices in India and Haryana India has dismal rates of infant feeding practices and these are not rising satisfactorily. National rates for initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of birth are 24.5 percent; exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is only 46.4 percent and Introduction of complementary feeding along with continued breastfeeding between 6-9 months is 55.8 percent. For Haryana, IMR is 41.7 percent, initiation of breastfeeding within one hour is 22.3 percent, exclusive breastfeeding for first six months of life is 16.9 percent and introduction of complementary feeding

BPNI’s Training Course on Infant and Young Child Feeding Counselling
The Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI) conducts training of trainers (Middle Level trainer – MLTs) of the health functionaries at state and district level. The skill training of trainers and frontline workers is accomplished using the training package titled “Infant and Young Child Feeding Counselling : A Training Course, (Integrated Breastfeeding, Complementary feeding, Infant feeding & HIV Counselling and Growth Monitoring)- The 4 in 1Course”. This course is a comprehensive and integrated course developed by BPNI along with its partners. This course is based on WHO / UNICEF Training Courses – “Breastfeeding Counselling – A Training Course”, “HIV and Infant Feeding Counselling – A Training Course” and “Complementary Feeding Counselling – A Training Course”. The training module for the frontline workers has been field tested by National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD), Government of India. The course has also been endorsed by the Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP), Indian Medical Association (IMA) and Indian Academy of Preventive and Social Medicine (IAPSM).
This is a cascade-training course in which four national trainers from BPNI train 24 Middle Level Trainers at state or district level in a seven days training workshop. Three such Middle Level Trainers train 30 Frontline Workers like ANMs, ASHAs, AWW etc. at block or district level. The flow of the training is depicted in the pictorial (Figure -1) below:

Training Workshops
Middle Level Trainers were trained with 4-in-1 integrated course on Breastfeeding, Complementary feeding, HIV & Infant Feeding and Growth Monitoring in 7 days training workshop having 2 phases.
The First phase, which is refered as the Preparatory Phase, comprised of a total of 27 sessions, including 22 theoretical sessions, 3 clinical practices and 2 practice sessions. In this phase, the participants were first explained about the objectives of the course, training methodology and training tools. National Trainers then prepared them about various methods to take interactive sessions like:
• Didactic Lecture using Power point presentations: Majority of sessions have theoretical content which was explained to the participants with the used of PowerPoint presentations.
• Conducting skill session using demonstrations: Listening & Learning Skills, Building Confidence, Positioning and Breastfeeding by working mothers etc. are few of the skills which were taught to the participants using innovative demonstrations as a training techniques. These demonstrations made the topic easier to understand in an interesting way.
• Enacting Role plays to convey important information and message: To convey important information and messages, trainer enacted role plays in front of the group. Such a method is useful for practicing skill like counseling and for exploring how people react in specific situation. The role-play objective is an attitudinal change dealing with feeling and emotion. Role-plays have many advantages like: - The trainees are involved in problem solving, actively participate which stimulates interest and it helps in understanding and developing behavior of self and others.
• Clinical Practice: Certain practice sessions requires working in the clinical settings and conducted in hospital premises in Pediatric and Gynaec ward and OPD. In these clinical practice sessions participants worked with the mother-baby dyad at bed side to learn communication skills, assess and observe breastfeeding and complementary feeding, and take growth measurements in real situation. These Clinical practice sessions were advantageous as trainees got hands on experience on topic which they learned and discussed in class by communicating and working with the mother and baby. They also has first hand experience of many real situations and got ideas about how to solve them.
• Practical Sessions: In special designated sessions, participants also learned to prepare replacement feeds and complementary foods. This exercise provided them first hand experience of various logistic needs, time consumed etc. in preparing these feeds. Participants were also explained the use of the Counseling Flip Chart while counseling the mother.
The Second Phase, which is referred as the Consolidation Phase, provided an opportunity to the Middle Level Trainers to conduct various assigned sessions under the supervision of BPNI National Trainers. Each of them led a group for Group work, Demonstration, Practice sessions and bed side Clinical practice session. Frontline Workers, who function as the family level counselors require skills on counseling in normal as well as in difficult circumstances. The second phase of MLT training armed the Middle Level Trainers to address these specific needs of skill building in counselling of frontline workers.
95 Middle Level Trainers from 10 districts of Haryana were trained in four training workshops of 7 days each. Two simultaneous training workshops were held on 24th to 30th March 2014 at Gurgaon

NRHM Haryana & Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India (BPNI) worked together with an objective to enhance early and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and initiation of timely complementary feeding along with importance of growth monitoring in 10 districts of Haryana state through capacity building of the district level like Medical officers, AYUSH Doctors, Staff Nurses, Supervisors, PHN etc. For BPNI training team, this was a very satisfying experience due to an enthusiastic participation by the trainees and appropriate administrative assistance at state and district level. Trainees were also very happy to get new insight in the subject and to acquire knowledge and skills on this important aspect of maternal and child care. The training programme has once again established the fact that it is possible and feasible to impart skill training with in the health system in reasonable resources. We hope, this endeavour will help in improving infant and young child feeding practices in Haryana. This will be useful to assess knowledge, attitude and practices of trainees in future to provide any refresher course if required. The success of the trainings provided to the Middle Level Trainers rests in using their training skills to train the frontline workers who will provide appropriate counseling and skilled support on infant and young child feeding to pregnant and lactating women.
