ABSTRACT
Appropriate feeding practices are essential for the nutrition, growth, development and
survival of infants and young children.Assessment of infant and young child feeding
(IYCF) practices and nutritional status of children (0-23 months) in Funtua Local
Government Area, Katsina State was carried out which incorporated qualitative and
quantitative data collection techniques. Data was obtained using pretested semi-
structured questionnaire with weight and length taken, in addition to their serum
mineral status (Iron, Zinc, Copper and Calcium) using standard methods. Results
indicated that early initiation of breastfeeding was practiced by 82.4% whereas
exclusive breastfeeding was very low (5.1%) and continued breastfeeding up to two
years was practiced by 60.6% of the respondents in the study area. Proportion of
children that had minimum dietary diversity were low (5.3%) with minimum meal
frequency of 38.8 and 5.3% for breastfed and non-breastfed children respectively,
while Iron rich or iron fortified foods were consumed by 21.2% of the respondents
and minimum acceptable diet for breastfed and non-breastfed was 4 and 8.3%
respectively. Nutritional status of the children indicates stunting (55.7%), wasting
(25.3%) and underweight (49.1%) showed significant correlation with breastfeeding
practices. Serum minerals level of iron and zinc were low in 76% and 54% of the
children respectively, as well as serum copper (69%) and calcium (60%).
Haemoglobin and Packed Cell Volume were less than the recommended levels
(≥11mgldL and ≥33% respectively). The high prevalence of malnutrition obtained in
the study area may be due to the poor feeding practices. Further studies are needed to
identify the barriers to optimize IYCF practices of caregivers in the study area
