Abstract:
Milk-induced anemia is a type of anemia that is caused due to the excessive consumption of cow milk during the first 12 months of life when that baby cannot digest it properly leading to many health problems. The awareness regarding milk-induced anemia during infancy and its prevention are not available in Pakistan. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a booklet of dietary guidelines to prevent and manage MIA. For the development of the booklet, data was gathered on milk anemia and dietary guidelines from the existing literature available on the internet from various books, journals, and articles. Following this evaluation of the booklet was done via the devised validation forms. The content validity of the first draft of the booklet was evaluated by the Expert Panel from the field of food science and human nutrition to ensure the content and utilization could be assessed. The developed booklet was evaluated by mothers and females of reproductive age to assess its utilization and acceptability. The booklet was wellreceived by the general public and they responded that the information in the educational dietary booklet was readable and easy to comprehend. The booklet can be a significant source of dietary guidelines for mothers’ awareness to prevent and manage milk-induced anemia.
