Prior to World Breastfeeding Week, which is celebrated every year from August 1 to 7, the 2020 edition of which focuses on the impact of infant feeding on the environment, climate change and the urgent need for To protect, promote and support breastfeeding for the health of people and the planet, Save the Children calls to strengthen actions that protect girls and boys during the First Thousand Days. #TheFirstThousandDays are the period of life that covers from pregnancy to two years of age, and is a key stage for the growth and development of babies because the greatest changes occur at the brain, physical, social and emotional level.
However Mexico faces serious challenges to ensure that girls and boys have this good start, among them: 47 % of girls and boys from 0 to 2 years old do not receive a minimum acceptable diet that contains the nutrients necessary for their development. 2 in 10 pregnant women have iron deficiency anemia. This can lead to consequences that negatively impact the mother and baby. Only 3 in 10 babies are exclusively breastfed for six months. It has been proven that milk is a superfood Guatemala Mobile Number List and the first natural vaccine that protects babies against respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. 48.3 % of girls and boys between 0 and 1 year old do not have a complete vaccination schedule . Resurgences of diseases that were already controlled, such as measles, put the lives of babies at risk Less than 15% of girls and boys between 0 and 3 years old have access to initial education . Early education means professional care and attention to boost the learning they need to reach age-appropriate growth milestones.
We are concerned about possible reductions in infant vaccination schedules, as families may not attend health checks for fear of COVID-19 infections in clinics. On the other hand, we are alarmed by the impacts on the nutrition of children and pregnant women due to the economic impact on families, as well as the increase in maternal mortality of women who have contracted COVID-19. In Mexico, different public programs are implemented aimed at addressing this important period, as well as all early childhood (0 to 6 years of age), despite the fact that in November of last year the National Early Childhood Care Strategy was approved. , this runs the risk of not being implemented properly due to the lack of political support and correct budget allocation.
