Background: Malnutrition in infants during weaning has been attributed to inappropriate complementary feeding practices and it underlies more than one-third of child mortality in Nigeria. Thus, addressing the influence of complementary feeding practice on nutritional status may be an important approach to reducing the burden of child malnutrition. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between complementary feeding practices among mothers and nutritional status of their infants in Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Nigeria. The study enrolled 330 mother-child pairs from 10 randomly selected out of 32 Health Facilities in Akpabuyo. Socio-demographic information, child and maternal characteristics were obtained using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Complementary feeding practices were assessed with World Health Organization infant and young child feeding indicators. Nutritional indicators wasting, underweight and stunting were determined.
Results: Prevalence of timely introduction of complementary feeding among infants aged 6-8 months was 85.4%, minimum dietary diversity rate was 31.5%, and minimum meal frequency 36.7%, the rate of minimum acceptable diet was 7.3%. One-third (33.3%) of the infants were underweight, 26.4%, wasted and 24.6%, stunted. Children who did not receive timely complementary foods had higher odds for wasting (OR 5.15; 95% CI 1.50-17.73). Children who did not receive the minimum dietary diversity had higher odds for underweight than children who received the minimum dietary diversity (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.17-3.70). Children who did not receive the minimum feeding frequency were more likely to be stunted than their peers who received the minimum feeding frequency (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.53-4.03).
Conclusion: Sub-optimal complementary feeding predisposed to infant's malnutrition.
背景：婴儿断奶期间出现营养不良的原因是辅食喂养不当，这也是尼日利亚三分之一以上儿童死亡的原因。因此，解决辅食喂养方法对营养状况的影响可能是减轻儿童营养不良负担的一个重要方法。这项横断面研究调查了尼日利亚阿克帕布约地方政府地区母亲的辅食喂养方式与婴儿营养状况之间的关系。研究从 Akpabuyo 的 32 家医疗机构中随机抽取了 10 家，共招募了 330 对母婴。研究人员通过访谈者发放的问卷调查获得了社会人口信息、儿童和产妇特征。根据世界卫生组织的婴幼儿喂养指标对补充喂养做法进行了评估。营养指标包括消瘦、体重不足和发育迟缓：结果：6-8 个月婴儿中及时添加辅食的比例为 85.4%，最低膳食多样化率为 31.5%，最低进餐频率为 36.7%，最低可接受膳食率为 7.3%。三分之一（33.3%）的婴儿体重不足，26.4%的婴儿消瘦，24.6%的婴儿发育不良。未及时添加辅食的儿童出现消瘦的几率更高（OR 5.15；95% CI 1.50-17.73）。未获得最低限度膳食多样性的儿童比获得最低限度膳食多样性的儿童体重不足的几率更高（OR 2.07；95% CI 1.17-3.70）。未达到最低喂养频率的儿童比达到最低喂养频率的儿童更有可能发育迟缓（OR 1.57；95% CI 1.53-4.03）：结论：辅食喂养不足易导致婴儿营养不良。
