About the Book

Front cover page of a booklet featuring a title and image of children holding hands and playing outside

While early family planning campaigns focused on providing tools and education on contraception and pregnancy, the policies in the 1980s and 1990s shifted emphasizing increased quality of the population, healthy babies, and taking good care of children. This handout provides basic information on childcare and healthy babies.
