  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}o provide {HIV}-positive mothers who opted for exclusive breastfeeding or formula feeding from birth to 6 months postpartum as a means of prevention of mother-to-child transmission ({PMTCT}) of {HIV} with a sustainable infant food support programme ({FSP}) from 6 to 12 months postpartum. {W}e describe the implementation and assessment of this pilot initiative. {D}esign: {T}he {FSP} included a 6-month provision of locally produced infant fortified mix ({IFM}; 418 k{J}/100 g of gruel) for non-breastfed infants coupled with infant-feeding and psychosocial counselling and support. {A}cceptability and feasibility were assessed in a subsample of sixty-eight mother-infant pairs. {S}etting: {T}he {FSP} was developed in collaboration with local partners to support. participants in a {PMTCT} prevention study. {F}ormula {WAS} provided for free from 0 to 6 months postpartum. {C}essation by 6 months was recommended for breast feeding mothers. {R}esults: {T}he {FSP} was positively received and greatly encouraged breastfeeding mothers to cease by 6 months. {A}s recommended, most infants were given milk as an additional replacement food, mainly formula subsidised by safety networks. {A}mong daily {IFM} consumers, feeding practices were satisfactory overall; however, the {IFM} was shared within the family by more than one-third of the mothers. {C}essation of {IFM} consumption was observed among twenty-two infants, seventeen of whom were fed milk and five neither of these. {C}onclusions: {W}ithout any food support most mothers would have been unable to provide appropriate replacement feeding. {T}he food security of non-breastfed infants urgently needs to be addressed in {HIV} {PMTCT} programmes. {O}ur findings on a simple cost-effective pioneer intervention provide an important foundation for this process.},
