Summary

Inadequate maternal nutrition is likely to undermine the potential impact of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) improvements made in the Alive \& Thrive (A\&T) first phase because it is linked to poor fetal growth leading to small-for-gestational age and pre-term newborns. These babies do not respond to growth promoting feeding practices as well as normal newborns do. In Phase 2, Alive \& Thrive decided to focus on integrating a package of maternal nutrition interventions in a large-scale maternal, newborn and child health program (MNCH). This proposed evaluation aims to assess the feasibility of integrating maternal nutrition interventions into an existing MNCH platform in Bangladesh, using a cluster-randomized evaluation design.
