Moderate and severe malnutrition under two years children remain a
major public health problem in Bangladesh. Under a cross sectional
study, to assess the complementary feeding practice among 6-23
months of children according to WHO guidelines in selected slum
areas of Dhaka city, 120 children (M 53% & F 47%, age 14 5.55
months) were collected purposively. Starting age of CF (months, M
SD) was found 4.77 2.38. Only 22% of the children were given EBF.
About 64% of the study subjects who were not exclusively breastfed
started CF from 6 months and 11% during 4-6 months. Suji was mainly
consumed by about 70% 6-8 months children for >1times/day and
rice was taken in 9-11 months of age group (46%) and 12-23 months
age group (74%) >1 times/day respectively. Egg, fish, GLV and
fruits were the foods which consumed in least amount. In different
age groups only 30%, 4% and 25% were found to receive appropriate
frequency of meal and snacks according to WHO recommendations.
About 52% of the subjects didn't talk and help their children
during feeding. Our results provided fruitful evidence regarding
inappropriate CF practices among the slum of Dhaka city."
