2.6.1. Pictorial Calendar
The pictorial calendar contained coloured stickers that represented different food groups: energy-yielding foods were marked with yellow stickers, body-building foods with red stickers, protective foods with green stickers, and blue stickers to indicate breastfeeding. Mothers had to use coloured stickers every day to reflect what food groups were fed to the index child. Mothers were encouraged to feed at least one food item from each of the three basic food groups: carbohydrate and fat, protein, and fruits and vegetables.
