Abstract

Consuming high-quality, nutritionally balanced complementary foods supports children's growth and nutritional status, ensuring optimal development. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 60 percent of infant deaths are attributable to poor nutritional status, with two-thirds of these cases occurring due to inappropriate complementary feeding practices. Parental income has been shown to influence complementary feeding practices. This study explores the correlation between parental income and the diversity of foods utilized in complementary feeding for infants aged 6–24 months. The present study employed an observational analytical design, utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The study sample comprised 133 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The study was conducted in May 2023 in the Sewon District. The data were analyzed using the Kendall Tau test. Furthermore, the data indicate that 52.6 percent of families had an income above the minimum wage, and 67.7 percent of infants received complementary foods with more than five types of food ingredients. Bivariate analysis revealed no association between parental income and the variety of complementary food ingredients (p=0.381; r=-0.076). Family income does not influence the selection of food ingredients for complementary foods. This phenomenon may be attributed to the fact that the income received is not exclusively allocated to food expenditures
