“…Poor feeding and repeated infections resulted in 30% of stunted under-five children world-wide. 3 Malnutrition alone is responsible for 67% of child death in India. 4 In all settings that includes irrespective of place of delivery, rich and poor, urban and rural area breastfeeding had positive effects on the health of infants and mothers.…”

Background: Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure the health, growth and development of children. The objective of this study was to assess infant and young child feeding practice among mothers with 0-24 months children as per WHO criteria. Methods: It was a cross sectional study, involving mixed methodology (quantitative method supplemented by qualitative method in-depth interview) among 374 respondents from 1 st May 2017 to 31 st August 2017. Results: In quantitative method: 49 (81.6%) reported to have started breast feeding within first hour after delivery. 47 (78.3%) respondents exclusively breast fed their infants. In qualitative method: 69.78% mother were of age group 18-29 years. 52.14% respondents were educated up to primary/middle school. In multiple logistic regression analysis educational status of mother, occupational status of mother, birth place, ANC follow up, EBF education at ANC, type of delivery was found to be significant. Conclusions: IYCF practice was poor. Therefore, there is a need for emphasizing upon the promotion of IYCF practice by health care providers.

“…It is considerably higher than that found in the studies of Davalgi et al where it was 48% and Karol et al where it was 36.6%. 26,27 These differences may be because these studies were conducted in healthcare facilities and not community based like the current study. The result was also higher than the studies of Khan et al where it was 38.2%.…”

Background: Indicators of infant and young child and feeding (IYCF) practices have been devised by WHO in order to help objectively assess the prevalence of these practices in the population. IYCF practices play a vital role in the control of infant and child deaths. This study was undertaken to assess the IYCF practices among children aged less than 2 years among the tribal population. Objective of this study to measure the indicators of IYCF practices in children in the 0-23 months age group.Methods: It is a community based, cross sectional study of infant and young child feeding practices among tribal mothers having children younger than 24 months, in Sambalpur district of Odisha from October 2017 to December 2019. The study participants were tribal mothers having children less than 24 months of age. The sample size was 384.Results: Among the study participants, 93.5% belonged to the 21-30 years age bracket, 37.5% had middle school certificate education and 75.3% belonged to the upper lower socioeconomic class. The indicators were continued breastfeeding at 1 year (100%), continued breastfeeding at 2 years (100%) and children ever breastfed (100%), exclusive breastfeeding (98.71%) and bottle feeding (16.36%). A significant association was found between delivery by lower segment caesarean section and delayed initiation of breastfeeding.Conclusions: The indicators related to breastfeeding and complementary feeding were adequate except for minimum dietary diversity and minimum adequate diet.

“…15 Minimum meal frequency in the present study was observed to be 81.3%, whereas studies by Khan et al and Davalgi et al reported lower rates of 48.6% and 48.0% respectively. 11,16 In contrast, a study done in Gujarat observed that 95.6% of breast-fed children were fed at least the minimum number of times recommended. 17 Minimum acceptable diet is a summation indicator of both minimum dietary diversity and minimum meal frequency and indirectly reflects the true picture of IYCF practices.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe under-five population of India is 112.8 million. 1 The first two years of life provide a critical window of opportunity for ensuring appropriate growth and development of the child through optimal feeding. 2 Suboptimal feeding in infancy and early childhood not only leads to malnutrition but also results in impaired cognitive and social development and poor school performance in later life. 3 Surprisingly the total percent of children aged 6-23 months receiving adequate diet is only 9.6%. 4 Complementary feeding introduced in infants between 6 to 8 months has decreased from 52.6% to 42.7% during the last ten years. 4 ABSTRACT Background: Optimal infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) are essential to address the increasing burden of malnutrition and for the overall development of the children. The present study was conducted to estimate the proportion of optimal infant and young child feeding practices among rural children aged 0 to 23 months and study the associated socio demographic factors. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 children in the age group of 0 to 23 months in a rural field practice area of a medical college in Puducherry. Data on IYCF practices were collected using a standardized tool developed by WHO. Core and optional IYCF indicators were calculated. Chi-square test and Fishers' exact test were used as tests of significance. Results: Almost 88.0% of infants were initiated early on breastfeeding and 90.8% were exclusively breastfed for six months. Children who were continuously breastfed at one year and two years were 77.4% and 22.4% respectively. About 75.0% were introduced with solid or semisolid foods at 6 to 8 months of age. Among children aged 6 to 23 months, 77.3% had the recommended minimum dietary diversity, 81.3% had the minimum meal frequencies, while 57.7% received the minimum acceptable diet and only 39.4% consumed iron rich foods. Gender was significantly associated with the practice of continued breastfeeding at one year, adequate minimum dietary diversity and minimum meal frequency. Conclusions: The core and optional IYCF indicators were acceptably good in the initial six months of life but thereafter showed suboptimal levels, which should be emphasized among the mothers or primary care givers.
