Many children in Azerbaijan still suffer from anaemia. Research shows a number of multi-faceted and multi-layered reasons causing this problem: certain cultural beliefs (social norms) influence mothers' decisions against exclusive breastfeeding; medical staff tend not to encourage exclusive breastfeeding (adequate services); breast-milk substitutes are widely available; and food producers do not have obligation to fortify the flour with iron (adequate legislation), hence most flour in the shops does not contain the necessary levels of iron (availability of essential commodities)
