“…Data were collected by structured questionnaires using a face-to-face interview which consist the socio-demographic characteristics of mothers, history of antenatal care (ANC) visit and other variables that use to assess child-feeding practice. The questionnaire was developed by adapting from different literature (20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)37,(38)(39)(40)(41) . The data collectors were two nurses and two midwives who trained for 2 days regarding the purpose of the study and the procedures to be followed for data collection.…”

“…Previous studies conducted elsewhere on factors associated with inappropriate complementary feeding practices of children aged 6-23 months show higher maternal and paternal education, better household wealth, exposure to media, adequate antenatal and post-natal contacts, child's sex and age, institutional delivery, low parity, maternal occupation, urban residence, knowledge and frequency of complementary feeding and receiving feeding advice in immunisation as determinant factors for appropriate complementary feeding (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) .…”

The first 2 years of life are a critical window of opportunity for ensuring optimal child growth and development. In Ethiopia, the magnitude of the minimum acceptable diet ranges from 7 to 74⋅6 %. The evidence revealed the variation and unrelated data on the prevalence of minimum acceptable diet. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the minimum acceptable diet and its associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Lalibela town administration, northeast Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Lalibela town administration, northeast Ethiopia among 387 mothers/caregivers with children aged 6–23 months from May 1 to 30, 2022. The data were entered by Epidata version 3.1 and analysed by SPSS version 25.0. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with minimum acceptable diet. The degrees of association were assessed using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95 % confidence interval and P-value of 0⋅05. The magnitude of minimum acceptable diet in the study area was 16⋅7 % (95 % confidence interval: 12⋅8–20⋅6 %). Sex of child, getting infant and young child feeding counselling at antenatal care, infant feeding practice-related knowledge and childhood illness are the variables that were found to be an independent predictor of minimum acceptable diet. Health facilities should strengthen infant feeding counselling starting from antenatal care visits during pregnancy for the recommended minimum acceptable diet is crucial.

Background. Inappropriate complementary feeding practices are amongst the key causes of child undernutrition. It rises the risk of undernutrition, illness, and mortality among children. Objectives. This study was aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of MMF practice and associated factors among children aged 6 to 23 months in Ethiopia. Methods. The search was conducted by using the following electronic databases; PubMed/MEDLINE, HINARI, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, African journals, and Google for grey literature. The publication bias was determined by using a funnel plot and Egger’s test. The heterogeneity between the studies was checked by using I2 statistic. The subgroup analysis was done by sample size, region, and year of publication. Result. A total of 20 studies with 12 656 study participants were included in the present systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of MMF practice among children aged 6 to 23 months in Ethiopia was estimated to be 63.80% (95%CI: 56.59, 71.01). PNC visit (AOR = 1.90, 95%CI [1.31, 2.49]), wealth index (AOR = 2.11, 95%CI [1.42, 2.81]) and age of child (AOR = 5.75, 95%CI [4.25, 7.26]) were factors significantly associated with MMF among children aged 6 to 23 months. Conclusion. The findings showed that the pooled prevalence of MMF among children aged 6 to 23 months in Ethiopia was relatively low. PNC visit, wealth index and age of child were factors significantly associated with MMF among children aged 6 to 23 months. Therefore, community-based health education concerning the recommended MMF among children aged 6 to 23 months is required to take place.

Introduction Malnutrition is a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa with an increased morbidity and mortality rate than in other parts of the world. Poor complementary feeding practices are one of the major causes of malnutrition during the first two years of life. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers of children aged 6 to 23 months in sub-Saharan African countries. Methods A multilevel mixed-effect analysis was carried out using recent demographic health survey data from 19 sub-Saharan African countries, which were conducted between 2015 and 2020. A total weighted sample of 60,266 mothers of children aged 6 to 23 months were included in the study. The demographic health survey employs a stratified two-stage sampling technique. Data extracted from the recent DHS data sets were cleaned, recorded, and analyzed using STATA/SE version 14.0 statistical software. Multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with complementary feeding practice. Variables with a p-value less than 0.05 and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were reported as statistically significant variables associated with appropriate complementary feeding practices. Results The prevalence of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers of children aged 6 to 23 months in sub-Saharan African countries was 13.02% (95% CI: 12.75–13.29%). Maternal educational level [AOR = 0.69, 95% CI (0.64, 0.74)] and [AOR = 0.52, 95% CI (0.47, 0.57)], marital status of the mother [AOR = 0.85, 95% CI (0.74, 0.96)], sex of household head [AOR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.09, 1.27)], total children ever born [AOR = 1.52, 95% CI (1.18, 1.96)], [AOR = 1.43, 95% CI (1.14, 1.81)], and [AOR = 1.31, 95% CI (1.04, 1.64)], media exposure [AOR = 0.74, 95% CI (0.69, 0.79)], ANC visits attended during pregnancy [AOR = 0.73, 95% CI (0.63, 0.80)] and [AOR = 0.67, 95% CI (0.62, 0.74)], place of delivery [AOR = 0.92, 95% CI (0.85, 0.98)], currently breastfeeding [AOR = 1.12, 95% CI (1.01, 1.23)], PNC checkup [AOR = 0.75, 95% CI (0.70, 0.80)], the current age of the child [AOR = 0.26, 95% CI (0.24, 0.28)] and [AOR = 0.14, 95% CI (0.13, 0.16)], birth order [AOR = 1.31, 95% CI (1.09, 1.58)], number of under 5 children in the household [AOR = 0.76, 95% CI (0.59, 0.97)], community illiteracy [AOR = 1.09, 95% CI (1.02, 1.18)], and country category [AOR = 1.62, 95% CI (1.18, 2.22)] were significantly associated with appropriate complementary feeding practices. Conclusion The prevalence of appropriate complementary feeding practices among mothers of children aged 6 to 23 months in sub-Saharan Africa was relatively low. Higher maternal educational level, female household head, having media exposure, attending more ANC visits, health facility delivery, currently breastfeeding, having PNC follow-up, low community illiteracy, and living in the West Africa region increase the odds of appropriate complementary feeding practices. Women empowerment, increasing maternal health services accessibility, promoting breastfeeding behavior, increasing media exposure of the household, and improving the proportion of health facility delivery are strongly recommended.
