A tool to describe diet and eating behaviour in children at risk of malnutrition
PURPOSE: The International Complementary Feeding Evaluation tool (ICFET) is a new tool that provides a standardised description of caregiver feeding and child eating behaviour and diet in young children. It is designed to be relevant to undernutrition in low- and-middle-income countries (LMICs) and to be valid in multiple languages. This paper aims to describe the full content of the ICFET and its performance in various settings, cross-sectionall…
Understanding the Purchasing and Consumption Dynamics of Commercially Processed Complementary Foods and Caregiver Motivations and Reasons for Purchasing These Foods in Nairobi
Commercially processed complementary foods (CPCFs) are consumed in Kenya, but little is known about caregiver perceptions and reasons for their consumption. We explored caregiver perceptions, motivations and reasons for purchasing CPCFs. This cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in Nairobi among caregivers of children aged 6-23 months. A four-stage sampling strategy was used to select study sites non-slum (Westlands) and slum (Mathar…
The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the baby-friendly community initiative and maternal infant and young child nutrition in Kenya
On balance, the pandemic negatively impacted the BFCI, MCH services and MIYCN practices in Kenya. In such a context, there is a need for innovative approaches to ensure continued provision of and access to facilities and community health services in the future if the country finds itself in a similar position with the challenges of a pandemic. The pandemic revealed that remote working support policies could have the potential to improve breastfee…
Determinants of infants and young children feeding practices among mothers living in Saudi Arabia
Partial compliance with WHO CFP standards need improvement. Interventions should raise awareness of factors leading to poor compliance and support early breastfeeding initiation and continuation. Low-income and less educated families appear to be most in need of support
Association of women's empowerment with anaemia and haemoglobin concentration in children in sub‐Saharan Africa
We assessed the associations between women's empowerment and anaemia and haemoglobin concentration among children (6-59 months) in 31 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. We included 72,032 mother-child pairs from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2006 and 2019. A three-dimensional women's empowerment index (attitude towards violence, decision making and social independence) was constructed using principal components analysis, and …
Effectiveness of the baby‐friendly community initiative on exclusive breastfeeding in Kenya
The baby-friendly hospital initiative (BFHI) promotes exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in hospitals, but this is not accessible in rural settings where mothers give birth at home, hence the need for a community intervention. We tested the effectiveness of the baby-friendly community initiative (BFCI) on EBF in rural Kenya. This cluster randomized study was conducted in 13 community units in Koibatek sub-county. Pregnant women aged 15-49 years were r…
Prevalence and overlap of known undernutrition risk factors in children in Nairobi Kenya
We aimed to describe the co-occurrence of known risk factors for undernutrition and the prevalence of modifiable risks in wasted, stunted and healthy children. Quota sampling was used to recruit healthy [weight for age Z scores (WAZ) > -2 SD] and undernourished [weight for length (WLZ) or WAZ scores ≤ -2 SD] children aged 6-24 months from seven clinics in low-income areas of Nairobi. Structured interviews were used to identify exposure to socioec…
Eating and feeding behaviours in children in low‐income areas in Nairobi, Kenya
Child eating and caregiver feeding behaviours are critical determinants of food intake, but they are poorly characterized in undernourished children. We aimed to describe how appetite, food refusal and force-feeding vary between undernourished and healthy children aged 6-24 months in Nairobi and identify potential variables for use in a child eating behaviour scale for international use. This cross-sectional study was conducted in seven clinics i…
What Can Meal Observations Tell Us about Eating Behavior in Malnourished Children
Responsive feeding is an important aspect of child care, yet little is known about child eating and caregiver feeding behavior in Kenya. This study aimed to develop a mealtime observation methodology and assess child eating and caregiver feeding behavior in healthy and undernourished children in Nairobi. Healthy ( n = 6) and undernourished ( n = 13) children aged 6-24 months were observed during a meal, with standardized rating of child interest …
Health staff understanding, application, and interpretation of growth charts in Nigeria
We aimed to compare plotting accuracy and interpretation of weight gain patterns in average and small infants on road-to-health (RTH) and the new World Health Organization (WHO) growth charts in Enugu, Nigeria. Child health staff plotted standard weights on both formats. Twelve plotted charts were created, permutating three different weight trajectories (fast, steady, and slow) ending at two attained weights (average and small), with each plotted…
