    8. Always wash your hands with soap and water before preparing food and after going to the toilet, and wash childrens hands before they

    begin eating.WHY? This will help prevent children from getting diarrhea and many other illnesses.

    9. When starting to give foods to the young baby, make the food soft and thick and not runny or watery. You can add a little oil, to

    increase the energy in the food.

    WHY?If the food is watery, the baby will not put on weight and grow well.

    10. Give babies from six months and young children a variety of food to eat, like ripe banana, papaya, pumpkin, mango, rice porridge,

    mashed potato, chicken, fish, meat, eggs, corn, beans, and dark green leafy vegetables,

    WHY? Young children need to eat a variety of foods so they will grow well.

    11.Dont forget to add a little iodised salt to the young childs food.

    Why? Iodine is important for the mental and physical development of children and also important for pregnant women.

    12.Feed the young child many times during the day.

    WHY? A young child is growing rapidly and has a small stomach. So that he can grow and develop he needs to eat often many meals and snacks

    throughout the day.

    13. Continue to breast-feed when a child is sick, and, if the child is over six months encourage him/her to eat and drink and give him/her

    extra food when he is well again.

    WHY? If the child does not eat he will lose weight, become weak and is more likely to get sick again.
