    Timely introduction of complementary feeding among caregivers of children 6-12 months, Sodo Town, Ethiopia

    The World Health Organization recommends introducing complementary feeding — providing liquids, solid or semisolid foods in addition to breast milk — starting from the age of six months. The study assessed the timely introduction of complementary feeding among caregivers of children ages 6-12 months. The authors found that the proportion of timely introduction of complementary feeding was low and suggest this can be increased by promoting the importance of antenatal care visits, hospital deliveries and health education.

    Factors influencing maternal nutrition practices in a large-scale maternal, newborn and child health program in Bangladesh

The authors show that improving knowledge, self-efficacy and perceptions of social norms among pregnant women, increased husband support, early registration in prenatal care and provision of free supplements will largely improve maternal nutrition practices.
