To update the prevalence of infant and young child feeding indicators (IYCFI) in children under 24 months in Mexico.
Ensanut 2018-19 national representative survey with probabilistic design. Popu-lation: Women 12-59 years and their children <24 months. The indicators proposed by the World Health Organization were assessed by sociodemographic variables of the mothers using the sample design. Wald's test was used to compare between categories.
The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding in children under six months was 28.3%, 42.9% of children under 12 months consumed infant formula and 29% continued breastfeeding at two years. Around 30% of children between 6 and 11 months did not meet the recom-mended minimum dietary diversity and only 49.4% consumed iron-rich foods.
There are improvements in breastfeeding practices in Mexico, although the figures are low. The coordinated contribution from all sectors of society is required to improve infant feeding practices.
更新墨西哥24个月以下儿童的婴幼儿喂养指标（IYCFI）患病率。
2018 - 19年Ensanut全国代表性概率抽样调查。人群：12至59岁女性及其24个月以下儿童。采用样本设计，根据母亲的社会人口学变量评估世界卫生组织提出的指标。使用Wald检验进行类别间比较。
六个月以下儿童纯母乳喂养率为28.3%，12个月以下儿童42.9%食用婴儿配方奶粉，两岁儿童29%仍在母乳喂养。6至11个月儿童中约30%未达到建议的最低饮食多样性，仅49.4%食用富含铁的食物。
墨西哥母乳喂养情况有所改善，但数据较低。需要社会各部门的协同努力来改善婴幼儿喂养情况。
