Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional survey on 523 pairs of mother and suffered from acute respiratory infections child
6-23 months old treated at the Maternity and Children’s Hospital of Ha Nam provine in 2016-2018
to assess the nutritional status of children and describe some mother’s child-feeding practices. The
results showed that: The rates of stunting and wasting of children were high: 21.2% and 11.1%
(respectively); the rate of underweight was 14.0%. The rates of mothers who breastfeed their babies
late after the first hour after birth and of mothers who give complementary foods too early or too late
(before 6 months or after 8 months of age) were quite high: 62.5% and 53.0% (respectively); the rate
of mothers squeezed colostrum before first breastfeeding was 24.3%. Children who were started on
complementary feeding at the wrong time compared with those who were fed at the right time had
higher rates of stunting: 24.2% and 18.8% (respectively) (OR=1, 4; 95%CI 0.9-2.3) but no statistically
significant difference (p=0.1075); the rate of underweight malnutrition was also higher: 19.5% and
7.8% (respectively) statistically significant difference (OR=2.9; 95%CI 1.6-5.3; p=0.0001).
