POSITIVE PARENTING: REBUILDING THE MOTHER BOND

By Alejandra Izquierdo | Project Manager

We reopened our Comprehensive Child Care Center in Cartagena

We received 120 babies between 6 and 24 months this semester.
CIDI is attending to a maximum number of 50 children per day, with all biosafety protocols.
We started with a process of adaptation of the children because many of them were in confinement for a long time and it is more difficult for them to adapt to being with other children and being separated from their mothers.
100% of children have a complete vaccination schedule, according to their age range.
90% of children have adequate weight and height.

We start classes maternal role module in person

We have strengthened the knowledge of our adolescent mothers in:

Positive parenting.
Humanized parenting guidelines.
Breastfeeding.
Complementary feeding.
Integral development.
