Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

WHO has urged all developing countries to develop programmes to improve complementary-feeding (CF) practices because of their importance for optimal growth, development and health of infants and young children While supplementation programmes and/or highly-fortified "super-foods" have limited success in improving CF-practices in disadvantaged environments, population-specific food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG), based on locally-available foods and requires minimal changes to local food pattern, will enhance the chances of programme success.

Our previous study was able to identify the need for, potential and finally develop FBDG for CF of 6-8mo and 9-11mo infants using combined linear-and-goal programming approach (LP approach). This research is therefore being made to support the next phase of the study i.e. to assess the efficacy of FBDG, for improving CF/dietary-practices and growth in \<24mo children (window of opportunity). As growth and development is inter-related, home-based stimulation will be included in this trial to see the effect on child development. While studies have shown that stimulation at early age benefits children through their late adolescence; evidence from Indonesia is lacking. This study therefore aims to see the effect on growth and development of community trial using food-based dietary guideline and stimulation. It is expected that findings from this study will provide scientific evidence as the basis for program formulation.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

FBDG group

The group received Food Based Dietary Guidelines for feeding recommendation. Monthly-session with group of mothers involving interactive activities e.g. cooking session, cooking competition and games.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FBDG group

Intervention Type OTHER

The group received food based dietary guidelines for complementary feeding

Stimulation group

The children received psychosocial stimulation from the mothers. Mothers were taught on psychosocial module which was developed using locally existing resources and was directed at improving four aspects of child development, namely gross motoric, fine motor, language and socio-emotional developments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stimulation

Combined (FBDG and Stimulation)

The group received both FBDG and psychosocial stimulation
