Appropriate feeding practices and associated factors during diarrheal disease among children aged 6 to 23 months in Sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel analysis of the recent demographic and health survey.

The prevalence of appropriate feeding practice during child diarrheal disease aged 6-23 months of age was strictly low which implies that child diarrhea and appropriate feeding practice is still a great issue in in Sub-Saharan African countries. Enhancing maternal education, strengthening media exposure and vaccination for rotavirus, and designing interventions that address the mother's marital status, mother's work status, and country category are recommended to enhance appropriate feeding practices. Furthermore, special consideration should be given to older mothers to increase appropriate feeding practices during diarrheal disease.
