2. Background
• Inappropriate complementary feeding practice is
one of the main reasons for malnutrition among
Nepal children aged less than two years.
• Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months
followed by complementary feeding along with
breastfeeding is vital for proper growth and
development of a child [4].
• An inadequate complementary food is a major
cause of the very high prevalence of malnutrition
in the developing world and this may have long-
term implications for growth, development, and
health
2
3. Background
• Maternal dietary practices during pregnancy and
postpartum play an important role in determining
the long-term health and nutritional status of
both the mother and her growing fetus.
• Poor dietary practices during pregnancy may
result in increased rates of stillbirths, premature
birth, low birth weight, maternal and prenatal
death.

4. Background: Child Feeding
• NDHS Report 2016 shows, 47%of children age
6-23 months receive meals with the minimum
recommended diversity (at least four food
groups).
• 36% of children under age 5 are stunted (short
for their age), 10% are wasted (thin for their
height), 27% are underweight (thin for their age),
and 1% are overweight (heavy for their height)
[3].

5. Rationale
• Identification of the favorable and unfavorable
behavior helps in effective implementation of the
Malnutrition prevention and control program then
reduction of maternal and child mortality. and
also helps to development of implementation
strategies.
• Dissection on message will provide key features
and their information to change the feeding
practices among children and to provide
feedback/suggestion for remodeling of the
messages.
