Background: Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure the growth, health, and development of children to their full potential. Complementary feeding is a process starting when breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of infants, and therefore other foods and liquids are needed, along with breast milk. The objective was to study complementary feeding practices and the various factors influencing them in urban and rural areas.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted in Urban and Rural area of Mangalore Taluk. Data was collected by interview method among 408 mothers using a predesigned pretested questionnaire, information regarding demographic profile, socio-economic status, complementary feeding practices, etc was collected.Results: As many as 186 (45.3%) i.e., 129/186 (69.3%) mothers in the rural area and 57/186 (30.6%) mothers in urban area started complementary feeds at the age of 6 months. The most common food preferred as complementary food was combination of rice and dal together. The number of meals per day given to the child varied from 2-4/day. The number of snacks given per day to the child varied from 1-4 /day; commonly preferred snacks were Biscuits both in urban and rural areas Bottle feeding was practiced by 181 (44.4%) of the mothers, that included 113/181 (62.4%) from rural area and 68/181 (37.5%) from urban area.Conclusions: Poor complementary feeding practices were observed both in rural and urban areas. Family member’s advice, poor knowledge and influence of baby food marketing strategies have resulted in inappropriate practices.

Timely initiation of complementary feeding and pattern of complementary feeding is suboptimal in India. Women in employment faces challenges for following optimum Infant and Young Child Feeding practices, which have a significant impact on growth and development of child under 2 years of age. Objective was to study challenges faced by women in employment for complementary feeding and pattern of complementary feeding in rural area. Qualitative study was conducted in rural area of Wardha district, India. Six FGDs were conducted and participants (total 39) were women in employment having child between 6-23 months and community level service providers. Women in rural area resume work early, could not practice exclusive breast feeding for six months. They initiate complementary feeding early and had inadequate awareness regarding complementary feeding. Women initiate semisolid and soft food at 4-6 months, smashed solid food at 7-9 months. Women leave their babies at mercy of the elders or sometime neighbours when they are at work. Villages do not have child care facilities or creches. All these determinants compromises complementary feeding with regards to timely and adequacy, recommended dietary diversity, safe feeding. Challenges for practicing exclusive breast feeding for 6 month, early initiation and inadequate complementary feeding adversely affect growth and development of children in rural area which may have undesired long term implication on the cognitive development. Strengthening Anganwadi program in India with more focus on children under 2 years, community baby care rooms / creches services would be useful strategy for supporting the women in employment to practice the optimum IYCF recommendations. India needs a conducive workplace policies and adequate protection by law for women in employment.

Purpose The use of real-time recording technology for clinical instruction allows student clinicians to more easily collect data, self-reflect, and move toward independence as supervisors continue to provide continuation of supportive methods. This article discusses how the use of high-definition real-time recording, Bluetooth technology, and embedded annotation may enhance the supervisory process. It also reports results of graduate students' perception of the benefits and satisfaction with the types of technology used. Method Survey data were collected from graduate students about their use and perceived benefits of advanced technology to support supervision during their 1st clinical experience. Results Survey results indicate that students found the use of their video recordings useful for self-evaluation, data collection, and therapy preparation. The students also perceived an increase in self-confidence through the use of the Bluetooth headsets as their supervisors could provide guidance and encouragement without interrupting the flow of their therapy sessions by entering the room to redirect them. Conclusions The use of video recording technology can provide opportunities for students to review: videos of prospective clients they will be treating, their treatment videos for self-assessment purposes, and for additional data collection. Bluetooth technology provides immediate communication between the clinical educator and the student. Students reported that the result of that communication can improve their self-confidence, perceived performance, and subsequent shift toward independence.
