Dear colleagues,

Could you please share with me any information (a protocol, a software, etc) that can help in calculating amounts of ingredients needed to make a composite flour to be used as complementary food for infants and young children (6-23 mo). This is for a local entrepreneur in African context.

Thanks,

Theo

Dear Theo, 

Here are a couple of documents that may be of use: 

- Nutritional Guidance for Complementary Food https://www.wfp.org/publications/nutritional-guidance-complementary-food 

- Review of Take-Home Rations under the Integrated Child Development Services in India https://www.wfp.org/publications/review-take-home-rations-under-integrated-child-development-services-india

You can also contact WFP country office for support. 

Warm regards,

Thanks for the question,

I think it would be important  to consider also the following guidance from WHO, which provides important inputs that may contribute to the work you are doing

1. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241593431  (Guidance for breastfed children)

2. https://www.fsnnetwork.org/sites/default/files/GuidingPrinciples%20CF%20NonBreastfed%20Child.pdf  (non breastfed children)

Thanks

Dear all,

Thank you very much to Dr Asef for sharing this spreadsheet with so many colleagues. We have also received requests offline for the spreadsheet and are able to pass it on. 

However, just to note that this is one of many tools for calculating ration sizes and has not been specifically designed for the particular age group of children aged 6-23 months. It mainly focuses on meeting the energy requirements of older children, adolescents and adults, as noted by Dr Asef.

It would be very important to add to the tool that infants < 6 months should be exclusively breastfed (unless otherwise recommended due to the child's condition) and children aged 6-23 months and beyond should continue to receive breastmilk alongside complementary foods.

While the spreadsheet may be very helpful as a guide and simple tool, a slightly more complicated, but more robust tool worth looking at is

Nut Val 4.1 https://www.nutval.net/2007/05/downloads-page.html

and colleagues have also proposed the UN publication, Food and Nutrition needs in emergencies as helpful for emergency situations:  https://www.unhcr.org/publications/operations/45fa745b2/food-nutrition-needs-emergencies.html

These are in addition to the other useful resources shared in this thread. 

Please continue to share other resources if you have them. 

Best wishes,

Tamsin
