Overview

Community-based study finds 65.8% prevalence of poor complementary feeding by caregivers, highlighting education and antenatal care needs.

Key Points

  • Two-thirds of caregivers provide suboptimal complementary feeding, negatively impacting child growth and health.
  • The study found that lack of formal education increased odds of poor feeding practices by nearly 5 times.
  • Community-based assessment revealed significant associations with knowledge of feeding practices and antenatal care attendance.
  • Strengthening maternal education and nutrition programs is essential for improving child feeding practices and health outcomes.
