There is only one previous study on peer support from India by Bhandari et al. [20]. The training strategy used was based on Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses [IMNCI} and trained child health and nutrition workers were used for the purpose of providing peer support. In the other study from Bangladesh by Haider et al. [21], trained local mothers were used. A combination of local mothers in collaboration with health/nutrition workers has not been previously explored. Such a form of group support would ensure quality control as well as ensure sustainability. Therefore, we undertook this study with an aim to assess the feasibility, efficacy and sustainability of this kind of support on the important IYCF practices in the community.
