IBFAN - the International Baby-Food Action Network - consists of public interest groups working around the world to reduce infant and young child morbidity and mortality.

IBFAN aims to improve the health and well being of babies and young children, their mothers and their families through the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding and optimal infant feeding practices.

Our site is arranged in the following eight sections (which you can also find by using the navigation bar at the top of each page).

The site continues to be developed and is regularly updated.

IBFAN received the Right Livelihood Award in 1998 for two decades of work in support of mothers and infants.
