Background.
Diet diversification is essential to prepare adequate food that is useful for children’s physical and cognitive development.
Despite the limited studies performed in different parts of Ethiopia, the information about the feeding practice of children in the current study area is not documented.
Thus, this study intended to assess the dietary diversity practices and associated factors among children aged 6–23 months.
Methods.
Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 517 children aged 6–23 months paired with their mothers in Robe town.
Systematic sampling technique was applied to select a child-mother pair.
Data were collected using a pretested and structured questionnaire.
Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with the dependent variable.
Adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were used to assess the strength of association and level of significance.
Results.
From a total of 508 children included, making a 98% response rate, 77% of them did not meet the minimum dietary diversity.
Children aged 12–23 months were more likely fed diversified food when compared with those aged 6–11 months (AOR = 2.99).
Mothers whose educational level was secondary and above (AOR = 3.21), had media exposure (AOR = 3.99), and were knowledgeable about diet diversification (AOR = 8.5) were more likely to feed their child diversified food than their counterpart.
Children whose father was a merchant were more likely to receive a diversified diet compared to those whose fathers were daily laborers.
Conclusions.
Inadequate practices of minimum dietary diversity observed in the current study area were mainly associated with the child’s age, maternal education, mothers’ knowledge on diet diversification, and media exposure.
Improving knowledge of mothers, increasing their education, and promoting appropriate infant and child feeding practices through media are an important intervention to improve dietary diversity practices.
