Key Points

  • 68% of participants were aged 9-24 months; inadequate diet intake was notably high among breastfed children.
  • Data were collected through interviews from 200 mother-child pairs using standardized WHO and UNICEF questionnaires.
  • Interventions are necessary to improve complementary feeding, focusing on behavioral change and skilled counseling.
