1990-2005 Celebrating the Innocenti Declaration on the Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding
Past achievements, present challenges and the way forward for infant and young child feeding

Abstract
This publication is intended to raise the profile of breastfeeding and all elements of infant and young child feeding as key interventions for improving child survival, growth and development, and to bring this once again to the attention of governments and donors. In doing so it describes a chain of actions, events, documents and practices stretching forward
from the Innocenti Declaration to the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding. It describes the continuing and new challenges that exist to optimal feeding of infants and young children, and suggests a way forward towards the global aim of ensuring universal enjoyment of children's rights to adequate nutrition.
