Abstract

Appropriate complementary feeding (MP-ASI) is crucial for infant growth and development. This study investigates risk factors associated with suboptimal MP-ASI practices in Lubuk Alung, West Sumatra. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 mothers of infants aged 6-23 months. Data on socio-demographics, feeding practices, maternal knowledge, and access to healthcare were collected. Suboptimal MP-ASI was defined using WHO indicators (minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency, minimum acceptable diet). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated risk factors. The prevalence of suboptimal MP-ASI was 48%. Risk factors included lower maternal education (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.4-4.9), low household income (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.2-3.8), lack of antenatal care visits (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.4), and inadequate maternal knowledge about MP-ASI (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.7-6.0). In conclusion, suboptimal MP-ASI is prevalent in Lubuk Alung. Interventions should target mothers with lower education, low income, and limited healthcare access. Improving maternal knowledge about MP-ASI is crucial.
