“…One of the key finding from this study is that complementary foods given to most children are mainly made from grains, roots and tubers, which have low nutrient density. This dietary pattern is similar to that reported in previous studies conducted in Tanzania (Wandel & Holmboe-Ottesen 1992;Mamiro et al 2005;Nyaruhucha et al 2006;Maseta et al 2008) and other Sub-Saharan African countries (Vaahtera et al 2001;Faber 2004;Mutie et al 2010;Sika-Bright 2010). Meat products, fish, poultry, dairy products and vitamin A-rich foods are consumed infrequently by young children; however, the consumption levels tend to increase with children's age.…”

Inappropriate complementary feeding is one of the major causes of undernutrition among young children in Tanzania. Prevalence of newly developed World Health Organization complementary feeding indicators and their associated factors were determined among 2402 children aged 6-23 months in Tanzania using data from the 2010 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey. The survey used a multistage cluster sample of 10 300 households from the eight geographical zones in the country. The prevalence of the introduction of soft, semi-solid or solid foods among infants aged 6-8 months was 92.3%. Of all the children aged 6-23 months, the prevalence of minimum dietary diversity, meal frequency and acceptable diet were 38.2%, 38.6% and 15.9%, respectively. Results from multivariate analyses indicated that the main risk factors for inappropriate complementary feeding practices in Tanzania include young child's age (6-11 months), lower level of paternal/maternal education, limited access to mass media, lack of post-natal check-ups, and poor economic status. Overall, complementary feeding practices in Tanzania, as measured by dietary diversity, meal frequency and acceptable diet, are not adequately met, and there is a need for interventions to improve the nutritional status of young children in Tanzania.

“…Research conducted by Maseta et al showed that there was a significant relationship between child care patterns and child health care practices in families with nutritional status in children aged 6-36 months in Tanzania. 29 The next factor was health care. the low utilization of health services had an effect of 60-70% death of under five children with malnutrition.…”

Research conducted by Rinda shows that only about 62.5% of mothers can practice balanced feeding behavior ABSTRACT Background: Nutrition is one of the factors that can be used as a determinant of the quality of human resources. The number of malnourished sufferers in the world reaches 104 million children. The prevalence of underweight children based on weight and age indicators is 19.6% which consists of 5.7% toddlers with poor nutrition and 13.9% of them with under nutrition. Based on data from the District Health Office of Kulon Progo (2014), the number of toddlers with under nutrition was 10.13%. Methods: This study was an observational analytic cross-sectional design. It was conducted in July, 2019. The study population was mothers who had babies and or toddlers in Kalisoko. The sampling was carried out using random sampling with inclusion criteria of mothers who have babies and or toddlers residing in Kalisoko. Exclusion criteria in this study were mothers who were not willing to be sampled and mothers who did not have babies and or toddlers. Based on the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a sample of 30 was obtained. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Statistical tests were performed using chi-square test. Results: Chi-square test results showed a significant value of 0.072 (p<0.05), which means that there is no relationship between maternal knowledge of maternal attitudes about nutritional status in infants and toddlers in Kalisoko, Tuksono, Sentolo, Kulonprogo 2019. The risk prevalence value is 2.303 (>1) and the CI value between 1.083 and 4.897 so that it does not exceed 1, meaning that the knowledge of mothers which is not really good is at risk of 2.303 times compared to mothers who have good knowledge. Conclusions: Knowledge is a risk factor for maternal attitudes about nutritional status in infants and toddlers but it is not statistically significant.
