Global and regional estimates of infant and young child feeding practices during the complementary feeding period. Source: UNICEF global databases, 2016, based on MICS, DHS and other nationally representative sources. All estimates where population coverage fell below the 50% threshold have been suppressed. The aggregates for Global and East Asia and Pacific region use data from 2008 for China for continued breastfeeding at 1 year, continued breastfeeding at 2 years and introduction to solid, semi‐solid and soft foods. China is the only country for which data from before the year 2010 were used. Data were unavailable for China for minimum meal frequency, minimum diet diversity or minimum acceptable diet. CEE/CIS refers to Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Estimates presented exclude Russian Federation as data were unavailable and the threshold of 50% population coverage for the region could only be met when Russian Federation was removed from the analysis
