Vevey/S. 004)* The simulation analysis demonstrates that there are a range of health benefits for switching from some feeding practices to breast milk supplemented with nonmilk liquids (table 3). There are only a few statistically significant effects increasing weight-for-age and reducing the prevalence of diarrhea, cough, and fever. These health benefits are only seen when switching from feeding practices that include solid foods. As was the case with switching to supplementation with milk liquids, other effects are positive or negative but are statistically insignificant due to high variability.

The more severe forms of xerophthalmia are now very infrequent, possibly due to additional vitamin A intake, especially from programs that provide high-dose supplements every 6 months as well as control of measles and other infectious diseases that may precipitate the clinical conditions.

Switching from other feeding practices may have positive or negative estimated effects, but these estimates are not statistically significant. For example, in the case of breastfeeding supplemented with infant formula, switching to supplementation with milk liquids has some negative and some positive effects, but these are statistically insignificant due to large variation coming from a small sample of infants receiving infant formula. Again, it is of great interest to see the magnitude of these simulated effects, especially for those that are statistically significant.
