Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional study identifies low exclusive breastfeeding rates and determinants of IYCF practices.

Key Points

  • Only 30.6% of infants aged 0-5 months received exclusive breastfeeding, indicating a significant gap in infant feeding practices.
  • Among children aged 6-23 months, 61.1% met minimum dietary diversity, suggesting variability in dietary quality.
  • A community-based descriptive cross-sectional study collected data from 193 mother-child pairs using structured questionnaires and analyzed through logistic regression.
  • Sociodemographic factors, including caregiver age and education, significantly influence IYCF practices in this community.
