IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Malnutrition is a condition of chronic lack of nutrition. The cause of malnutrition among Madurese children live in coastal area can be caused by poor habit maternal feeding practices. Feeding patterns is important for optimizing growth and development on toddler. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cultural factors of ethnic Madura which influence feeding pattern on toddler on Transcultural Theory. The design of the study was descriptive analytic with cross sectional approach. The population were mothers with under-five children who suffered malnutrition as many as 34 people from 11 villages. Sample was chosen by using random sampling technique as much as 24 respondents. The independent variables in this study were education consisting of the level of education and knowledge of diet, and the cultural value of the efficacy, norms, and lifestyle. The dependent variable was feeding pattern. The data were collected by using questionnaire and analysed by using multiple linear regression test with a degree of significance p<0,05. The result showed a significant correlation of efficacy of fulfilment nutrition (p=0,039) and lifestyle (p=0,000), the most influential factor between the two factors is the lifestyle. The factor of cultural values particularly efficacy of fulfilment nutrition and lifestyle have a significant correlation with feeding pattern of Madurese, while the level of education, knowledge, and norms show not significant results. Further research was suggested to enhance and support feeding pattern with an effective health Education in a coastal setting.

This study sought to find out feeding practices of children less than two years with stunting in urban and rural Turbo Sub-County, Uasin Gishu. Stunting is low height for age with poor brain and physical development. The study used a cross-sectional survey design. The data analysis was by SPSS for windows version 20. Mixed feeding was most practised at 43.5 per cent (n=27). Exclusive breastfeeding was at 40. Continued breastfeeding was at 67.3 per cent and 47.1 per cent at 1 and 2 years, respectively. Cereals, roots and tubers foods were eaten most in urban at 97.2 per cent/n=196 and in rural areas at 94.3 per cent/n=83.

Child feeding practices of mothers of rural coastal area of Navsari district
Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
Abstract Background: Poor feeding habits are one of the most serious barriers to achieving and preserving health of children under the age of five, as they pose a significant challenge to social and economic growth. Objectives: To know the socio-demographic profile and to study the prevalence of Infant and young child feeding practices of mothers Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study in rural areas of Navsari district, Gujarat, included 243 women, who had one child aged 12 to 23 months preceding data collection. Data were analyzed using statistical software Epi Info 6. Result: About 32% of the infants had received pre-lacteals feeds, most common feed was Gripe water (44.9%). The colostrum was fed by 90 % mothers. Half of mothers had initiated breast-feeding within 1 hour after delivery. Only 88 mothers (36.2%) had given exclusive breast-feeding for 6 months. About half of children had received complementary feeding during 6–9 months of age. Most of the mothers (96.7%) were washing their hands before each feeding of the child whereas 61.7 % were cooking special meal for the child. Majority of mothers (93.8%) think that breast-feeding should be continued for 1 to 2 years. Conclusion: Continuing to emphasise nutrition education could go a long way toward empowering mothers to avoid using pre-lacteal feeds, to sustain exclusive breastfeeding for a prescribed period, to incorporate complementary foods at the appropriate time, and to enhance overall child-care through optimum use of community health workers.

The most important factor that affects growth of various organs of child is the nutrition. Breastfeeding is the primary source to provide nutrition in all newborns. Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the breastfeeding practices of children in Rural and Urban setting and to find out the relation between breastfeeding Practices and Nutritional status of children. Materials and Methods: A community based study was conducted in the field practice areas of a tertiary care hospital. Multistage Random sampling technique was used for the selection of study subjects. A total of 117 under five children were studied equally from rural and urban area. A predesigned Pretested Performa was used to assess the Breast feeding practices. Stunting and underweight were used to proxy the child nutrition status. Data was evaluated on SPSS version 17.Chi-square test was used to compare the feeding practices & to find out their association with nutritional status in the two areas. Results: Breastfeeding practices of Urban children was found to be better than Rural children. Under nutrition was found in children who initiated breastfeeding after 3days, took prelacteal feeds, discarded colostrum, & who were not on Exclusive breastfeeding in both the areas.

International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health, 2014
Background: Infant feeding practices have a major role in determining the nutritional status of children and are associated with household socioeconomic and demographic factors. Aims & Objectives: (1) To study the socio-demographic profile of mothers; (2) To assess impact of feeding practices on nutritional status of children. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study in rural areas of Navsari district, Gujarat, included 243 women, who had one child aged 12 to 23 months preceding data collection. Data were analyzed using statistical software Epi Info 6. Anthropometric analysis was done by using WHO Anthro software (version 3.2.2). Results: Breastfeeding was universal in the study area. Only 56.4 % of mothers initiated breastfeeding within one hour. Only 36.2 % of infants were exclusively breastfed for 6 months and 97.5 % had received complementary feeding at 6-9 months of age. There was 11.5% prevalence of underweight, 15.6% prevalence of stunting and 8.6% prevalence of wasting. There was significant association between underweight with the birth order of the child, birth weight of the child and time of initiation of the breast-feeding to the child. There was significant association between stunting with the sex of the child. There was significant association between time of initiation of breast-feeding with the birth order of the child and type of delivery. Conclusion: Malnutrition was associated with perinatal care practices and infant feeding practices. Efforts are needed to promote early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and age-appropriate complementary feeding among infants.

Objectives: Children under-five years are more vulnerable and susceptible to malnutrition especially in the coastal region. Therefore, this study sought to find out the contributing factors of malnutrition among under-five children in coastal region of Bangladesh.Study Design: It is descriptive type cross-sectional study.Methods: Anthropometric methods and structured questionnaires were used to collect required data. Nutritional status was measured using Z score according to WHO classification.175 children (6-59 months) and their householdin Barguna district was considered for study subjects. Results and discussion:Only 5.7% children were introduced with colostrum and 25.71% followed exclusive breast feeding. The rate of literacy was found to be higher in father (85.1%) as compared to mother (39.4%). 68.6% children are suffering from underweight whereas the percentage of wasting and stunting children were found to 40.6% and 60% respectively. Breastfeeding practice and monthly family income were significantly associated with wasting, stunting and underweight. Children who were not exclusively breast fed had higher rate of moderate wasting (59.5%), stunting (70.5%) and underweight (74.6%). Children with illiterate father were found to have more odd value of having wasting, stunting and underweight compared to literate father. Furthermore, early age (6-24 month) of children are more susceptible for malnutrition as compared to the age (25-59 months) of children. Conclusions: Children are underweight and stunting due to the insufficient breast feeding practice, father's education, monthly income of families and sanitary practices. Therefore, community nutrition and public health education are early demands for the people in the coastal area.
