Children's consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) is increasing in Ethiopia, but relatively little is known about the specific feeding practices that underlie this pattern.

Anaemia is a global public health problem affecting 800 million women and children globally.
Child feeding practices in rural Ethiopia show increasing consumption of unhealthy foods
The quality of complementary feeding can have both short- and long-term health impacts by delaying or promoting child growth and establishing taste preferences and feeding behaviours.
Evidence on the potential for agricultural intensification to improve nutrition has grown considerably.
Integrating nutrition interventions into antenatal care (ANC) requires adapting global recommendations to fit existing health systems and local contexts, but the evidence is limited on the process of tailoring nutrition interventions for health pr
Seasonal variation in maternal dietary diversity is reduced by small-scale irrigation practices: A longitudinal study
Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence farming but also for rural an
Antenatal care (ANC) is the largest health platform globally for delivering maternal nutrition interventions (MNIs) to pregnant women. Yet, large missed opportunities remain in nutrition service delivery.
Early breastfeeding practices contribute to exclusive breastfeeding in Bangladesh, Vietnam and Ethiopia
Limited evidence exists on the complex relationship among interventions, early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), prelacteal feeding and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF).
Associations of maternal resources with care behaviours differ by resource and behaviour
Improving education, knowledge, nutritional status, mental well‐being, autonomy, and social support among mothers would facilitate provision of optimal care for children.
The prevention of wasting should be a public health priority as the global burden of acute malnutrition is still high.
Inadequate safe water supply and poor sanitation and hygiene continue to be important risk factors for diarrhoea and stunting globally.
Child undernutrition disproportionally affects children in low- and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, both wasting and stunting are serious public health concerns, with high human and economic costs.
Age-appropriate breastfeeding and introduction to complementary foods can shape child feeding practices, ensure adequate energy and nutrient intake and prevent linear growth faltering.
