1,000 Days is the leading non-profit organization working in the U.S. and around the world to improve nutrition and ensure women and children have the healthiest first 1,000 days.
We support this recommendation and especially urge the need for the second indicator, in addition to the first, so that there is a better understanding of the quality of nutrition counseling that is being given to mothers and caregivers. We are pleased that the proposed questionnaire associated with the second indicator includes counseling on the types of foods that children should consume, as well as those that should not be consumed, including sugar-sweetened beverages.
