Popis: In this article we review infant feeding status of countries that do not belong to the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) but share some common cultural backgrounds with the EMR countries. They include Algeria, Mauritania, Bangladesh and Indonesia. These countries have cross cutting cultures with the EMR countries and can be used to gain a deeper perspective of the status and trends on the nutritional and feeding practices of infants and young children from the cultural perspective. Algeria is included as an Arab state and shares the same culture as the other North African countries, but it belongs to the AFRO region of the WHO and the Middle East (MENA) region of the UNICEF. Mauritania is another country with common similarities to the North African countries but it belongs to the AFRO region of WHO and West African region of UNICEF.
