Multiple studies have been done to assess and inform more factual evidence related to infant nutrition. One study involved 30 Massai mothers with infants ranging in age from newborn to six months Breast milk is very nutritious for the newborn/infant child, mothers from Massai have to slightly disagree as they believe a mixture of both breastmilk as well as other semi-solid supplements is to be more beneficial for the child After a deeper study was further conducted, factual statistics have proven the above statement to not be true in the best interest of the child. Comparing mortality and morbidity rates from Massai and other places, Massai has much higher rates for both mortality and morbidity and this could be a result of the lack of information on WHO recommendations for infant and child feeding. WHO is an abbreviation for World’s Health Organization recommendations, some of the main initiatives a women should take to ensure for better infant nutrition is to begin exclusively breastfeeding your child from birth to around 6 months of age, furthermore you should only introduce more solid nutritional foods at 6 months along with breastfeeding till the child is 2 years old. These recommendations also warn of the consequential effects and incidents that have occurred due to the lack of following the recommendations, such as a higher rate of mortality in a child who was not breastfed within the hour and delaying the process of giving the child breast milk.

The Sanitation of Hygiene Nutrition Efficacy (SHINE) did two based trials in Zimbabwe in two districts to optimize the nutritional values of infants and improving these conditions of child feeding. In this study, the SHINE association will observe household characteristics and social interaction which will then be compared to how the child responds. Overall these trials will help to hypothesize to explain the public health problems of anemia and child stunting.

There are different beliefs and misconceptions pertaining to infant nutrition specifically the topic of breastfeeding among young people and different tribal groups. Studies have been done to inform people with more factual evidence related to the pros and cons of infant nutrition. For instance, mothers surveyed from Massai with children ranging in age from newborn to six months believe a mixture of both breast milk and other semi-solid supplements can be a more beneficial, nutritious meal for the child. A deeper study was further conducted proving the above statement to not be in the best interest of the child. Comparing the mortality and morbidity rates from Massai and other places, Massai has higher statistics for both. This could be the result of the lack of information on the WHO recommendations for infant and child feeding. However, another study was done in Zimbabwe related to infant breastfeeding as well. This study has shown the factors that weigh against the idea of exclusively breastfeeding. Zimbabwe has fecal conduction due to bad living conditions such as poor water sanitation, and hydration. The Sanitation of Hygiene Nutrition Efficiency (SHINE) conducted two base trials in two districts to optimize the nutritional values of infants and to improve these conditions for child feeding. They observed household characteristics and social interactions which they then compared to how the child responds. These trials will help to hypothesize and explain the public health problems of the children. Overall, there has been a spark of interest and enthusiasm on the topic of infant nutrition, that will hopefully result in change. A change for more support towards infant nutrition and the nutritional benefits for the child.
