Appropriate Complementary Feeding Practice and Its Associated Factors among Mothers Who Have Children Aged between 6 and 24 Months in Ethiopia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…The included articles were conducted in 5 regions of Ethiopia. From the 17 articles, 7 [ 16 , 17 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 29 , 31 ], 5 [ 15 , 20 – 22 , 28 ], 3 [ 19 , 24 , 30 ], 1 [ 27 ], and 1 [ 18 ] studies were conducted in Amhara, SNNPR, Oromia, Tigray, and Afar Region, respectively. The highest proportion of ACFP was reported by the study conducted in Debre Birhan town [ 16 ], whereas the lowest proportion was in Damot Weyde district [ 15 ] ( Table 1 ).…”

“…In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the overall pooled effect size of significantly associated factors of ACFP in this study were mothers' educational status of secondary school and above (OR � 3.36 with 95% CI: 3.03-3.69) [23,24,26,27,31], having repeated ANC visits (OR � 4.77 with 95% CI: 3.49-6.05) [18,19,26,28], child's age between 12 and 24 months (OR � 3.7 with 95% CI: 2.75-4.65) [20,23,24,27,31], having repeated PNC visits (OR � 3.17 with 95% CI: 1.96-4.38) [16,20,21,27,31], having health education on IYC feeding practice (OR � 4.88 with 95% CI: 3.86-5.9) [17,18,26], knowledge of mothers on IYC feeding practice (OR � 4.85 with 95% CI: 3.77-5.93) [16,21], maternal age between 18 and 35 years (AOR � 2.67 with 95% CI: 1.64-3.72) [20,23,25], institutional delivery (OR � 2.23 with 95% CI: 1.79-2.68) (18,25), and higher household wealth (OR � 2.65 with 95% CI: 1.46-3.84) [23,29] (Figure 5). High heterogeneity was observed among primary studies reporting mothers' knowledge about IYC feeding practice, repeated ANC visits, children aged between 12 and 24 months, repeated PNC visits, higher household wealth, and maternal age between 18 and 35 years as significant associated factors of ACFP in Ethiopia.…”

“…e proportion of ACFP is unacceptably low in lowincome countries such as 23% in Bangladesh [13], 7.7% in Malawi [5], and 9.76% in Ethiopia [14]. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of ACFP among mothers who had IYC aged between 6 and 24 months was from 8.5 in a study held in Damot Weyde district to 70.3% in a study held in Debre Birhan town [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…Known independent predictors of ACFP are knowledge of mothers on IYC feeding practices, health education on IYC feeding practices, having repeated antenatal care (ANC) visits, having repeated postnatal care (PNC) visits, child age, maternal age, mothers' occupation, workload, mothers' educational status, birthplace, number of children, food secured in the household, and higher household wealth [16,18,20,21,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]31].…”

“…In this study, a total of 18 studies [21–38] with a sample size of 4,844 were included. Of which, five studies [22, 23, 30, 33, 35] were conducted in Amhara region, five [25, 26, 31, 34, 38] in Oromia, four [21, 28, 29, 37] in Addis Abeba, two [24, 32] in Tigray, and two [27, 36] in Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State (SNNPRS). All included studies were conducted with cross-sectional study design.…”
