Conclusion
Overall, half of the mothers had high knowledge about complementary feeding. Whereas maternal attitudes and self-efficacy toward complementary feeding were low. Maternal educational status, information received, and number of ANC visits were predictors of a high maternal knowledge score. Likewise, child sex and the number of ANC visits were predictors of the maternal attitude score. Finally, family size and household food insecurity status were predictors of maternal self-efficacy. These findings imply that nutrition intervention strategies are mandatory, particularly to enhance maternal knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy towards optimum complementary feeding.
