“…Results of this study pertaining to mother's role and knowledge on the nutritional status of infant and toddler feeding are consistent with those of other studies that found no significant association between maternal nutrition knowledge and stunting, but not wasting in Indonesia (Webb & Block, 2003;Webb & Block, 2004). On the contrary, other studies found significant association between mother's feeding knowledge and nutritional status of their children (Siagian & Halisitijayani, 2014;Sukandar et al, 2015;Hadju et al, 2016;Masthalina & Agustina, 2017;Ahmad et al, 2018) and the study of Appoh and Krekling (2005) in Ghana found the positive association between mother's nutrition knowledge and underweight, which measures both stunting and wasting. Mothers with above primary level education can significantly reduce stunting and wasting in children.…”

Adequate nutrition, beginning in early stages of life, is crucial to ensure good physical and mental development as well as long-term health. Efforts in improving nutritional status in Indonesia are mostly focused to the vulnerable groups, mainly infant (baby under one year old) and toodler (baby under two years old). Childhood underweight and overweight are an important public health problem, as these conditions tend to have a chronic condition that cause a wide range of future morbidity. Overweight in young children is associated with future cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and psychosocial problems and stunted children suffer from impaired growth with permanent consequences in their adult life that face a high risk of morbidity and mortality. In this case, parents (especially mothers as the role models) are mostly responsible on healthy eating behaviors of their young children. With refers to this empirical fact, the objective of this study was to assess the association of mother’s role and knowledge in feeding young children practices on the nutritional status of their infants and toddlers. Analytical cross-sectional study was used in this study. The sampling technique was purposive sampling and a total of samples were 136 mothers. Data were processed and analyzed by using a computer program with a chi-square test at a significance level of 95%. Overall, results of the statistical test showed that there were no significant associations between role and knowledge of the mothers and adequate nutritional status of their infants and toddlers at a p-value of 0.544> 0.05 and p-value of 0.749 > 0.05 respectively. Based on results of this study, more intensive nutrition intervention programs are necessary to prevent poor nutritional status of young children particularly for infant and toddler, conducting more active coordination in health cross-programs, and improving nutrition counseling programs and suitable health services for the concerned public.

“…This findings of study showed that wasting was more likely among children who were not recommended minimum meal frequency as compared to child who got recommended MMF among Dalit. This findings got supported from the result of Ethiopia [47] and Indonesia [35]. This study revealed that about one-fourth of the Dalit child mother were daily wages/labour.…”

“…Similarly, the findings showed that the underweight was also protected among 6-11 months as compared to 12-23 months in Dalit. The findings got supported from the study of Pakistan [17], Indonesia [35]. Undernutrition is less among children younger than six months because child nutrition depends upon the breastfeeding [36].…”

Background Nutrition asserts to be a fundamental for child growth and development. Undernutrition increases the risk of child morbidity and mortality becomes a major public health challenges in developing countries. The aim of study was to assess prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among children aged 6-23 months in Dalit and Non-Dalit and associated factors.Method A cross sectional comparative study was conducted among mothers with their children aged 6-23months in Dhanusha district. Overall, 599 respondents were taken through multistage simple random sampling of which 300 from Non-Dalit and 299 from Dalit. Anthropometry measurement and interview were used for data collection technique and structure questionnaire was applied as a tool. Using Statistical Package for the Social Science, descriptive and inferential analysis were done.Results Prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting were 49.9%, 34.8% and 13.4% in Dalit and 39.0%, 25.0% and 8.7% in Non-Dalit respectively. Stunting was significantly associated with family type (AOR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.11-3.34) among Dalit while age of child (AOR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.10-0.57), ante natal care visit (AOR=3.20, 95% CI: 1.15-8.90) and media exposure (AOR=3.10, 95% CI: 1.11-8.64 in Non-Dalit. The underweight were significantly associated with age of child(AOR=0.50; 95% of CI: 0.27-0.93), knowledge on child feeding (AOR=2.00; 95% of CI: 1.13-3.54) and media exposure (AOR=1.78; 95% of CI: 1.01-3.14) in Dalit while media exposure (AOR=2.45; 95% of CI: 1.23-4.89) and duration of food sufficiency (AOR=2.51; 95% of CI: 1.10-5.71) in Non-Dalit. The wasting were significantly associated with minimum meal frequency (AOR=2.48; 95% of CI: 1.04-5.93) in Dalit while birth interval (AOR=0.27; 95% of CI: 0.08-0.92) in Non-Dalit.Conclusion Prevalence of undernutrition got high in both groups. Family type in Dalit and age of child, knowledge on child feeding and media exposure in Non-Dalit were key factors of stunting. Age of child, knowledge on child feeding and media exposure in Dalit while media exposure and duration of food sufficiency were important factors of underweight. Minimum meal frequency in Dalit whereas birth interval in Non-Dalit were the major factors of wasting. Community based nutrition education, food security and health service utilization programme should help in reduction of undernutrition.

“…In the study result of Udoh and Amodu, there was a signi cant association (p<0.05) between introduction of CF at six months old with wasting, the MDD was signi cantly associated with underweight and similarly, MAD was signi cantly associated with underweight too. Also, this study showed signi cant association between stunting and MMF, MDD and MAD [17].…”

“…Saaka et al study presented signi cant positive association between introduction of CF at six months old and higher height for age z-score [18] but our study showed there is no association between introduction of CF at six months old and length for age z-score (stunting). In Ahmad et al study there was no association on indicators of CF, namely MMF, MDD, MAD and timely introduction to CF with wasting, underweight and stunting [17]. Kimiywe et al found that CF practices were signi cantly correlated with nutritional status, particularly MDD [19].…”

Abstract Introduction During the first 1000 days of a child life, appropriate infant feeding practices are fundamental to growth, health and development of a child. Globally only one in six children receive a minimum acceptable diet. In Afghanistan, the status of minimum meal frequency, dietary diversity and acceptable diet were 55%, 23% and 18%, respectively among children aged 6-23 months. This study designed with the aim of determines the association of complementary feeding (CF) indicators and household food insecurity and anthropometric status of Afghan children aged 6-23 months. Methods We were selected 300 children aged 6-23 months old in this cross-sectional study through simple method. Three 24-hour dietary recall were collected for CF practices. Socioeconomic and United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) food security questionnaire were used from interview method and nutritional status was assessed using World Health Organization indicators. Chi-Square analysis were used to determined association between anthropometry of children among different age groups, complementary feeding indicators and household Food insecurity. Independent sample test was used to determined association between nutrient intake and complementary feeding indicators. Results Results showed that 59% of children received timely introduction of CF and Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF), Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) and Minimum Acceptable Diet were met by 87.7%, 44.7% and 42.3%, respectively. Prevalence rate of food insecurity was 90.7%. Result for odds ratio and 95% CI showed there is association between (Length for Age Z-score (LAZ) with MMF), (Weight for Age Z-score (WAZ), Weight for Length Z-score (WLZ) and Length for Age Z-score (LAZ) with MDD and MAD). Result for odds ratio and 95% CI also showed there are significant associations between WAZ, WLZ and LAZ with household food insecurity. Conclusion Household food insecurity and weak complementary feeding make more prevalence of malnutrition.
