Introduction: Complementary feeding is defined as the process starting when breast milk is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of infants then other foods and liquids are needed, along with breast milk. This study was conducted to assess the complementary feeding practice among mothers of 6-23 months of aged children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kathmandu among 240 mothers of 6-23 months of aged children attending the pediatric outpatient department and community medicine from June to September, 2022. A purposive sampling technique was used and data were collected using a structured questionnaire through a face-to-face interview. The obtained data were entered into Epi-data and converted into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-20. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence of Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD),Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF), and Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) was 49.16% (0.42-0.55, 95% Confidence Interval), 44.58% (0.48-0.61, 95% Confidence Interval) and 27.91% (0.65-0.77, 95% Confidence Interval) respectively. Children of age 18-23 months were statistically significantly associated with MDD, MMF, and MAD respectively. Type of family, listening to radio as media, along with breastfeeding and bottle feeding since six months were statistically significantly associated with MMF and along with breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding since birth to six months were statistically significantly associated with MAD. Conclusions: This study concluded that the children aged 18-23 months were more likely to have recommended standard complementary feeding practices than other younger-aged groups.

“…2 If infants are fed breast milk exclusively for the first six months of life, and in addition to breast milk, complementary feeds (CF) are introduced at six months of age with continued feeding breastmilk until two years of life, as recommended by the WHO, it may decrease the death rate of infants by 19 percent and prevent malnutrition, especially in developing nations like ours. 3 According to the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (NMICS) 2019 report, Nepal has made considerable progress in reducing stunting and underweight among children under the age of five. The percentage of stunting has decreased from 57% in 2001 to 32%.…”

Background: Appropriate young children (from birth to two years of life) feeding practice is very crucial to boost up children’s survival and optimum growth and development. Early initiation of breastfeeding (within an hour of childbirth), exclusive breastfeeding for six months and providing nutritionally adequate and appropriate complementary feeding for six months and continued breastfeeding up to two years of age or beyond are the major components of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The objective of the study was to find out the IYCF practices of mothers. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research was used and all 180 mothers attending government hospital of Biratnagar were the sample. Interview-based data collection was used by a self-developed, structured and semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using SPSS version 25.0. Result: Less than half (40%) mothers started breastfeeding within an hour after delivery, 90.6% fed colostrum, 73.3% practiced exclusive breast feeding and 89.4% continued to feed breastmilk along with complementary feed to under two years children. Among mothers, 68.3% started feeding complementary food at appropriate age, 70.6% of the mothers fed minimum numbers of time or more according to their child age, 80% mothers used to provide diverse food and 66.1% children were receiving minimum acceptable diet. Conclusion: The prevalence of timely initiation of complementary feeding at 6 months, minimum dietary diversity, minimum feeding frequency and minimum acceptable diet were satisfactory as almost two third and more children have met minimum acceptable diet. However, practice of early initiation of breast feeding is still low.

“…Inappropriateness in feeding practices, in such a way that infants and young children received inadequately nutritious diets, infrequently feeding and poorly diversifi ed in the fi rst two years of life, caused more than two-thirds underweight cases related child deaths (Caetano, 2010). Infants and young children are prone to underweight from six months forwards, when breast milk only does not fulfi ll all nutritional requirements, thus complementary feeding needs to be started (Kandel, 2016).…”

Appropriate feeding practices are critical for gaining and maintaining nutrition and development in children. Previous study in feeding practices indicated that inappropriateness in feeding practices had consequences in children’s growth and development. This study aimed to determine corelation between parents strategy to attract children to eat and feeding duration to weight for age z-score in children. This was a simple random sampling, cross-sectional study and held on April to June 2016 in Dr. Soetomo Hospital and Husada Utama Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Subjects in this study were children from 6 to 24 months. Feeding practice determined by interview with children’s parents which consisted parent’s strategy to attract children to eat, feeding duration, and then children were measured weight for age z-score using WHO chart. Statistical analysis used Spearman correlation test. Thirty children were enrolled, 50% were male, with median age 16.5 months (6-24 months). Parents strategy to attract children to eat (53.3% talking, 30% playing and 16.7% watching television) had correlated signifi cantly with weight for age (r= 0.35, p= 0.028). Meanwhile, 56.7% children with feeding duration more than 30 minutes and 43.3% children with time feeding duration less than 30 minutes. Feeding duration had no correlation with weight for age in children (r=-0.32, p=0.43). We conclude from this study that parents strategy to attract children to eat had signifi cant correlation to weight for age but feeding duration had no correlation with weight for age. This study implied that strategy to attract children to eat is necessity in children physical development. Meanwhile, feeding duration has no signifi cant implication. We recommended children must be persuaded as part of parents strategy in order to attract them to eat.
