“…Unfortunately the evidences in papers had links by indicating valid determinants of SAM burden among under five children. Furthermore the documented findings strengthen the concepts of “one health” and “multifaceted” nature of nutritional problems [1–11]. …”

“…As shown timely initiation of complementary feeding was also 34% and still maternal education, paternal education and postnatal care visit had ample effect on timely initiation of complimentary feeding [10]. In addition, apt complementary feeding practice was estimated as 11%; antenatal care visit and birth order were predictors of the practice [1]. …”

ObjectivesSevere acute malnutrition (SAM) has been considered as the complex nutritional problem within developing countries. Alleviating its occurrence also exists in an anxiety. A series of studies were conducted to disclose evidences and documented by here author. Moreover key messages were abstracted with this review easing access of texts.ResultsDue to pitiable sanitary practices 30% of cow milk had massive bacterial isolates like Escherichia coli; while usage of raw milk has been common do. Besides the mean severe household food insecurity was 6.5% and practice of family planning was 30%; whilst family size subsists as predictor for household food insecurity. The habits of exclusive breastfeeding, timely initiation of complementary feeding and apt complementary feeding were 78%, 34% and 11%, respectively with awareness as predictor. On the other hand SAM has been recognized as problem in children and treated mainly in outpatient therapeutic program by curative foods. Yet the provided foods were shared due to severe household food insecurity causing SAM recovery rate intolerable. So children get severely underfed by multidimensional determinants and need multifaceted strategies starting from awareness creation and alleviating household food insecurity.

“…A study in Pakistan found that 63% of children aged 6–23 months met the criteria for MMF, 22% met MDD and 15% met MAD [ 19 ]. A study done in Southern Ethiopia also found a very similar result, which was MMF 94.5%, MDD 16.5%, MAD 16.3% and appropriate CF practice with 4 indicators (timely introduction to CF, MMF, MDD, MAD) 11.4% [ 27 ].…”

“…Na et al [ 19 ] also found that younger age (6–11 months old), mother's age, low socio-economic status and poor health and nutrition service affected poor CF practice, particularly on MDD and MAD in Pakistan. Areja et al [ 27 ] similarly found that CF practice was influenced by health service, namely antenatal care and birth order. In the period of the first child, the mother tends to lack experience in child care, including CF practice.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESThe 6–23 months for infants is the longest period in the “first 1,000 days” of life. This period is very important for child development, so complementary feeding (CF) practices should be optimized to maximize children's potential for growth and development. The aim of this study was to analyze the CF practices and nutritional status of children aged 6–23 months.SUBJECTS/METHODSFor this cross-sectional study, 392 children aged 6–23 months were selected using stratified random sampling. Socio-demographic data were collected through interviews. CF practices, collected by interviews and repeated 24-hour food recall method, were the timely introduction of CF, minimum meal frequency, dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet, consumption food rich in proteins and vitamin A. Nutritional status was assessed using the indicators of underweight, wasting and stunting. To analyze the association between socio-demographic indicators and CF with nutritional status, the chi-square test with a confidence interval of 95% was used.RESULTSResults showed that 39% were exclusively breastfed, only 61% received prolonged breastfeeding and 50% received timely introduction of CF. Minimum meal frequency was met by 74% of subjects, but dietary diversity and minimum acceptable diet were only realized in 50% and 40% of the children, respectively. The prevalence of underweight, wasting, and stunting were 26%, 23%, and 28%, respectively. Age of the child, birth order, birth weight, parents' education level, family size and incidence of fever and diarrhea during the previous two weeks were associated with underweight, while child's birth order, fathers' education level, mother's age, family size, completion of the age-appropriate vaccination and fish consumption frequency were associated with wasting. Age of the child, incidence of fever and acute respiratory infection, and fortified food consumption were associated with stunting.CONCLUSIONSSuboptimal CF practices and high prevalence of underweight, wasting and stunting were found among children aged 6–23 months old in Aceh. These results highlight the need to improve CF and nutritional status.

Background: Diversified foods are considered key indicators of a balanced diet. Consumption of a minimum of four from the seven food groups is described as a minimum for dietary diversity. Nearly two-thirds of malnutrition-related child mortality is due to inappropriate feeding practice during the first two years of life. In Ethiopia, only five percent of children aged 6-23 months received a minimum diversity diet. Therefore, this study was intended to assess the predictors of minimum diversified diet feeding practice among mothers having children aged 6-23 months, in Goba Town, Southeast Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based survey was employed in Bale-Goba town, Southeast Ethiopia from April to May 2018. A total of 517 study subjects were selected using systematic random sampling technique. A pretested interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Ethical clearance was obtained from Madda Walabu University, Goba Referral Hospital. Data were entered to EpiData3.02 and analyzed using SPSS version 20, and the association between dependent and independent variables was assessed using bivariable and multiple logistic regression. Statistical significance was considered with 95% confidence interval and p-value of less than 0.05. Results: The proportion of children receiving minimum dietary diversity was 39.8% (95% CI 35.52, 44.08). Postnatal care visit (AOR=1.9 95% CI 1.3, 2.8) and attending growthmonitoring follow-up (AOR=1.5 95% CI 1.001, 2.2) were independent predictors, statically significant with dependent variable. Conclusion: Almost forty percent received minimum dietary diversity among the study subjects. Attending postnatal visit and having growth-monitoring follow-up were factors associated with minimal meal frequency practice. Encouraging mothers to attend postnatal care visits and frequently bring their children to growth-monitoring follow-up is highly recommended.
