Rates of exclusive breastfeeding are slowly increasing, but remain sub-optimal globally despite the health and economic benefits.

Alive & Thrive (A&T) examined the association of infant formula feeding during the first 3 days after birth with subsequent infant formula feeding and early breastfeeding cessation in Viet Nam to better understand how this impacts breastfeeding outcomes.

A one-year intervention in Viet Nam sought to understand how fathers’ knowledge, attitudes, and involvement in supporting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) might change after receiving breastfeeding education materials and counseling services.

In an effort to support Viet Nam's efforts to decentralize nutrition planning, A&T provided targeted assistance and capacity-building for 15 provincial plans for nutrition (PPNs).

Alive & Thrive (A&T) Viet Nam, developed and incorporated elements of social franchising into government health services to provide high-quality nutrition counseling services to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.
