Behavior change interventions delivered through interpersonal communication, agricultural activities, community mobilization, and mass media increase complementary feeding practices and reduce child stunting in Ethiopia

This randomized control trial evaluated the association between changes in young child feeding practices and exposing mothers with children under the age of 2 to (1) counseling by frontline workers in the health and agriculture sector; (2) community mobilization; and (3) mass media activities. The findings show that, in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, using an integrated, multicomponent social and behavioral change approach can have a significant impact on improving complementary feeding practices and on reducing the prevalence of stunting.

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.
