Globally, 47 million children young age were wasted, 14.3 million are severely wasted and 144 million are stunted. Around 45% of deaths among children are linked to undernutrition. The impact undernutrition is more severe among children age 6–23 months as this period is critical for child development, and irreversible damages can occur due to nutritional deficiencies. Hence aimed to assess magnitude of under nutrition and associated factors among infants and young children age 6–23 months attending Minilik II hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among 377 Infant and young children age 6–23 months were selected using simple random sampling method. Data was collected using face-to-face interview with family and anthropometric measurement was taken. The anthropometric measurements of children were evaluated using WHO standard Antro software. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the characteristics of study population. Logistic regression was fitted to identify factors associated with under nutrition. The study revealed about 34.1% of young age children were under nutrition while 28.8% of them stunted, underweight 10.2% and 4.7% of them were wasted. Working condition of mother (AOR = 6.142, 95% CI: 2.90-13.01), education status of the mother (AOR = 5.75, 95% CI : 2.621–12.624), household live in rent house (AOR = 3.03, 95% CI: 1.30–7.04), illness/disease (AOR = 5.69, 95% CI: 2.360-13.623), inappropriate complementary feeding (AOR = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.37–7.04), breast feeding, receiving vitamin A (AOR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.08–0.34) and growth monitoring (AOR = 0.288 at 95% CI (0.14–0.58) were found to have statistically significant association with children under nutrition.

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.

“…However, the association between breastfeeding and undernutrition among children remains unclear with some studies supporting a significant association between breastfeeding and undernutrition (Ansuya et al, 2018; Berhe et al, 2019; Campos et al, 2020) and other studies reporting inconsistent findings (Aldana‐Parra et al, 2020; Meshram et al, 2011; Syeda et al, 2020). Among those studies, the duration of breastfeeding [i.e., less than 4 months (Ambadekar & Zodpey, 2017) or more than 6 months (Ahsan et al, 2017)], different types of undernutrition [i.e., wasting (Paré et al, 2019), stunting (Ahsan et al, 2017), or being underweight (Ansuya et al, 2018)] might explain the inconsistencies. However, few studies have been conducted to clarify the issue.…”

Objective This meta‐analysis was conducted to examine the association between breastfeeding and undernutrition among children under 5 years of age in developing countries. Study design Systematic review and meta‐analysis. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted of datasets from Embase, CINHAL, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Indonesian databases to include eligible studies. Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis 3.0 statistical software was used to perform data entry and data analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted from each study or were calculated based on the reported number of cases and controls in each study. Random‐effects models or fixed‐effects models were used to demonstrate overall risk estimates. A moderator analysis was conducted to examine possible moderators explaining the heterogeneity across studies. Findings In total, 33 studies were included which examined the association of breastfeeding with undernutrition. A random‐effects model showed that breastfeeding had inverse correlations with overall undernutrition (OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.68, 0.99) and the stunting type of undernutrition (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55, 0.95). A moderator analysis showed that studies which included exclusive breastfeeding and unclear birth weights had low risks of overall undernutrition (p < 0.05). Moreover, studies which included exclusive breastfeeding and adopted a case–control study design exhibited a low risk of the stunting type of undernutrition (p < 0.05). Conclusions Providing breastfeeding or exclusive breastfeeding can benefit children under 5 years of age in developing countries reduce overall undernutrition and the stunting type of undernutrition. Clinical relevance Healthcare professionals should develop and implement suitable strategies to increase awareness regarding the importance of breastfeeding and enhance breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding adherence.
