| Do not give children under 6 months any water, sweets or ghutti (herbal paste). Initiate complementary feeding with thick foods not dal ka paani (the water in which lentils are cooked). One-year-old children should be fed 1.5 katori (small bowl) of food at each meal. Modern contraception (specifically pills, intra-uterine contraceptive devices, and male sterilisation) is safe and effective.
