ABSTRACT
@#Nutrition in infancy contributes to a significant portion on the notion of the importance of nutrition during the first 1000 days of life. A vast pool of literature exists on the importance of nutrition during this phase of life with future diseases, obesity and mental health. However, despite the availability of many guidelines and policies revolving around infant feeding practices, adherence to it remains poor. This review explains factors that influence infant feeding practices from an ecological point of view. A Bronfenbrenner ecological model was used to argue the influence and interaction of various ecological factors on infant feeding practices. The review highlights that the way these factors affect infant feeding differs according to populations and settings. This review suggests the need for more robust and population sensitive interventions to improve infant feeding practices globally.
