Implication

Cross-sectional survey highlights disparities in complementary feeding practices among socioeconomic groups, indicating urgent need for intervention.

Key Points

  • MIG families exhibited better complementary feeding practices than LIG and urban slum groups, but all showed suboptimal results.
  • Only 17% of children in MIG, 8.7% in LIG, and 10% in urban slum met minimum acceptable diet criteria, showing significant nutritional gaps.
  • More than 22% of children consumed unhealthy snacks, and over 65% did not eat fruits or vegetables the previous day.
  • The findings underscore the need for targeted programs to improve child nutrition in varying socioeconomic contexts.
