Background.
Growing evidence suggests that inadequate intake, poor caring practices, and disease process were some of the immediate and major causes of undernutrition in children.
This points out that infant and young child feeding were the basic grounds to improve child survival and promote healthy growth and development.
The first two years of a child’s life are particularly important, as optimal nutrition during this period lowers morbidity and mortality, reduces the risk of chronic disease, and enhances the chances of better development.
The study was aimed to assess sick infant and young child feeding practice and associated factors among mothers of children aged less than 24 months old in the Burayu town Oromia, Ethiopia.
Methods.
Institutional based cross-sectional study design was utilized.
The study was conducted from April-May, 2015 among 362 mother–child pair attending the maternal and childcare (MCH) units of the two public health facilities in the Burayu town.
Bivariate and multivariable analysis was done to test the relationship between the explanatory and outcome variables and the odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and the p-value was used to ascertain statistical significance.
Result.
More than half (53.6%) of all mothers fed their child more frequently at the time of illness than at a time of health.
The mean age of respondents was 25.41 ± 3.56 and ranged from 15−30 years.
Nearly three out of five (60.8%) of the respondents attended no formal education.
A mother who had got counseling on sick child feeding were nearly three times more likely to feed their child appropriately than their counterparts (AOR: 2.95; 95% CI; 1.78, 4.91).
Mothers who were housewives were 55% times less likely to feed their sick child appropriately than those who were working (AOR: 0.45; 95% CI; 0.26, 0.79).
Those mothers who have a child aged less than 6 months were 88% less likely to practice appropriate sick child feeding than those who have a child aged more than 6 months (AOR: 0.22; 95% CI; 0.12,0.40).
Conclusion.
Respondents who do not receive counseling on infant and young child feeding have poor sick child feeding practice.
Working mother had owned better practices of feeding child particularly at the time of illness.
Infants below the age of 6 months deserve more concern in providing frequent breastfeeds at the time of illness.
