Coping strategies
“Stretching” meals
Reducing unaffordable ingredients
Unsuitable, cheap, unsafe foods
Eating the same thing all week long
Parents reduce portion sizes
• Some low cost foods tend to be high in calories and
low in nutrients.
• Iron-deficiency anemia more likely for infants/toddlers
in food insecure households.
• Periodic disruptions in food supply may lead to a “feast
or famine” food environment.
• Moms may lack energy to provide developmental
stimulation and consistent routines.
