The latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6) reveals alarming statistics regarding child nutrition in India. Only 15.3% of children aged 6-23 months are receiving an adequate diet, a slight increase from 11% in the previous survey (NFHS-5). Experts caution that while calorie intake may be sufficient, many children lack essential proteins and micronutrients crucial for their development. Additionally, exclusive breastfeeding rates have declined from 63.7% to 55.8%, raising concerns about infant health. However, there are some positive trends; the proportion of children aged 6-8 months receiving solid or semi-solid food has increased from 45.9% to 59.5%. The survey also indicates a reduction in stunting and wasting among children under five, with stunting decreasing from 35.5% to 32.3% and wasting from 19.3% to 16.3%. Despite these improvements, experts warn of a continuing 'double burden' of malnutrition, emphasizing the importance of diverse and nutritious diets for healthy growth. They call for enhanced breastfeeding support and regulation of infant food marketing to improve child nutrition.
