Background: Nutrition is one of the essential parts of the child's growth and development phase. Adequate nutrition intake since the early stage is associated with the nutritional status of children. One factor that affects nutritional status improvement is an appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF). Another important factor of the successful IYCF is the mother's infant and young child feeding (IYCF) knowledge.Subjects and method: The design of this study was a descriptive-analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in Pagelaran Village, Pagelaran District, Pandeglang. The study sample was 92 mothers of toddlers. The data were collected using a questionnaire about IYCF knowledge and were analyzed using the Chi-Square test.Result: This study showed that there was no significant correlation between mother’s IYCF knowledge and nutrition status of weight-for-age (p=0.088), length/height-for-age (p=0.226), and weight-for-height or weight-for-length (p=0.226).Conclusion: The mother's knowledge of IYCF has a vital role in the success of IYCF and will improve children's nutritional status.

ASI merupakan makanan terbaik yang dapat membantu proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi. World Health Organization (WHO) merekomendasikan Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding yang merupakan empat hal esensial dalam pemberian makanan bayi dan anak, salah satunya adalah pemberian ASI saja kepada bayi sampai umur 6 bulan, atau yang disebut dengan ASI ekslusif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui determinan pemberian ASI Eksklusif pada ibu menyusui. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional analitik. Subjek penelitian menggunakan 80 ibu yang memiliki bayi umur 6-12 bulan di Puskesmas I Denpasar Barat dengan analisis yang digunakan adalah chi-square dan regresi poisson. Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebagian besar (55,0%) tidak memberikan ASI Eksklusif pada bayinya. Hasil bivariat menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pendidikan (p= 0,00), pengetahuan (p= 0,00), persepsi (p= 0,00), dukungan suami (p= 0,04), keterpaparan informasi (p= 0,00) dengan pemberian ASI Eksklusif. Faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi pemberian ASI Eksklusif yaitu persepsi dengan nilai p= 0,01 (aPR= 6,49 95%CI: 1,3-31,8).

Background: According to infant and child mortality in India, levels trends and determinants the under 5 mortality rates (UFMR) of India is facing a steady decline but at this rate India could not meet its target of millennium development goal-4 (MDG-4), which aimed to reduced UFMR by 2/3rds between 1990 and 2015. Objective of the current study was to study the complementary feeding practices amongst children of age group 6 months to 23 months in Lucknow.Methods: In this prospective cross sectional study 256 mothers were interviewed over a period of 6 months at a referral care centre in Lucknow. Children of age groups   6-8 months, 9-11 months and 12-23 months attending the Paediatric OPD   were included in the study. WHO anthropometric   indices of nutritional status: weight-for-age, length-for-age and weight-for-length, expressed in standard deviation (SD) units (z-scores) were calculated. Information on feeding practices and various particulars of the study children were taken into account and the WHO Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices were calculated. Complementary feeding index CFI was calculated using these WHO indicators.Results: In the study group 24% of the children were stunted, 38% were underweight and 35% were wasted. The CFI was seen to be low in 32%, medium in 61% and high only in 7% children. It was found that parental education had significant correlation with CFI. Weight for height was significantly associated with CFI (p=0.011).Conclusions: CFI is an important tool to target the lacunae in complementary feeding practices. The CFI scores directly correlate with the nutrition status of children thus targeting the determinants of CFI will bring a positive change in infant and young child feeding practices.

Background: Optimal infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) are essential to address the increasing burden of malnutrition and for the overall development of the children. The present study was conducted to estimate the proportion of optimal infant and young child feeding practices among rural children aged 0 to 23 months and study the associated socio demographic factors.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 children in the age group of 0 to 23 months in a rural field practice area of a medical college in Puducherry. Data on IYCF practices were collected using a standardized tool developed by WHO. Core and optional IYCF indicators were calculated. Chi-square test and Fishers’ exact test were used as tests of significance.Results: Almost 88.0% of infants were initiated early on breastfeeding and 90.8% were exclusively breastfed for six months. Children who were continuously breastfed at one year and two years were 77.4% and 22.4% respectively. About 75.0% were introduced with solid or semisolid foods at 6 to 8 months of age. Among children aged 6 to 23 months, 77.3% had the recommended minimum dietary diversity, 81.3% had the minimum meal frequencies, while 57.7% received the minimum acceptable diet and only 39.4% consumed iron rich foods. Gender was significantly associated with the practice of continued breastfeeding at one year, adequate minimum dietary diversity and minimum meal frequency.Conclusions: The core and optional IYCF indicators were acceptably good in the initial six months of life but thereafter showed suboptimal levels, which should be emphasized among the mothers or primary care givers.

Background: The benefits of adherence to optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) to both the mothers and their infants below two years are well documented. However, compliance to optimal IYCF practices has been noted to vary in different settings. This study sought to establish factors influencing mothers’ adherence to optimal infant and young child feeding practices for babies below two years in Mpigi town council- Mpigi District. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study carried out among 264 mothers of babies between six months to two years of age attending postnatal care units of health facilities in Mpigi town council, Uganda: Mpigi Health Center (HC) IV and Kyaali HC III. Purposive sampling method was used to select the health centers while simple random sampling was then used to select the sample from the selected centers. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data entry and analysis was performed using SPSS version 16. Results: 264 participants were invited to participate in the study, 100% of these fully completed the survey. The majority of the mothers were aged 20 to 34 years (80.3%). After scoring each participant using the four characteristics which included: initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour following birth, exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months followed by continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary foods upto 2 years and beyond, the majority of the participants were adherent (79.6%) to IYCF practices while 20.4% were non adherent to IYCF practices. Conclusion: A good estimate of adherence to optimal IYCF practices was revealed in this study. Sustaining well-established policies to support IYCF programmes is recommended to maintain optimal IYCF practices.
