There is limited research on integrated infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and micronutrient powders (MNPs) programmes operating at scale, despite widespread implementation. This study uses cross‐sectional baseline (n = 2,542) and endline (n = 2,578) surveys representative of children 6–23 months in two districts in Nepal that were part of a post‐pilot scale‐up of a IYCF–MNP programme.
