“…That the majority of even the wealthiest households in the study did not abide by the recommended IYCF and that even though traditionally boy children are preferred to girl children in India (e.g. Diamond-Smith et al, 2008 ; Lone et al, 2019 ), girl children were found to have been fed significantly better than male children—who were on the other hand breastfed longer—attest to that. This aligns with existent research suggesting that many Indian caregivers still hold some traditional erroneous beliefs about child feeding.…”

“…Girl children, despite being traditionally on average comparatively neglected by Indian parents (e.g. Diamond-Smith et al, 2008 ; Fledderjohann et al, 2014 ; George et al, 2000 ; Lone et al, 2019 ), are less likely to be malnourished than male children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. This fits with previous research findings from India as well as other lower-income countries (Gupta et al, 2015 ; Jeyakumar et al, 2019 ; Kumar et al, 2006 ) and is generally explained through a higher incidence of childhood morbidity in male children (e.g.…”

“…This may seem counter-intuitive given the above-mentioned average preference for boy children in India (e.g. Diamond-Smith et al, 2008 ; Lone et al, 2019 ) but is likely related to traditional beliefs that breast milk rather than food ensures good growth among toddlers (Sabharwal, 2014 ). Boy children in this study’s sample are indeed breastfed at statistically significantly higher rates than girl children.…”

Relative to its economic growth and poverty levels, Indian children suffer from higher levels of malnutrition than children in many other low- and middle-income countries. Research presented in this article examined the links between infant and young child feeding practices among Indian children and their rates of stunting, underweight, wasting, and anaemia, with a particular focus on the types of semisolid complementary food consumed. It did so through a comprehensive analysis of data on more than 57,000 6-to-23-month-old children obtained from the nationally representative National Family Health Survey IV (2015–2016). One of the key findings was that especially feeding children animal-sourced and vitamin-A-rich food was associated with lower malnutrition rates. The study further interrogated whether livestock ownership and participation in the Integrated Child Development Services programme could be supportive of better complementary child feeding and concluded that daily food receipts from the programme and poultry ownership were indeed linked with significantly higher rates of children following the recommended feeding practices as well as with somewhat lower children’s malnutrition rates.

Relative to its economic growth and poverty levels, Indian children suffer from higher levels of malnutrition than children in most other low- or lower-middle-income countries. The current Covid-19 pandemic is likely to further exacerbate the situation. Research presented in this article has examined the effects of infant and young child feeding practices on the rates of stunting, underweight, wasting, and anaemia amongst Indian children and concluded that feeding children between 6 and 23 months old (semi)solid food of sufficient variety, and particularly animal-source foods, has a significant positive effect on their nutritional outcomes. The study further assessed the effects of the Integrated Child Development Services and district-level livestock ownership on the helpful feeding practices and found that the Integrated Child Development Services encouraged beneficial dietary behaviour amongst children but did not improve their nutritional outcomes. In contract, district-level poultry ownership appeared to have both augmented the beneficial feeding practices and improved children’s nutritional outcomes.

“…Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi, secara pengetahuan dan kemauan untuk berubah sudah ditunjukkan oleh pengasuh ke arah yang lebih baik. Hanya saja perbaikan status gizi juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang lebih dominan, kemiskinan (Zhao & Yu, 2019) (Chaturvedi, 2019) (Lone, Lone, & Mayer, 2019).…”
