Abstract

Infant malnutrition is a continuing concern in middle-income countries like Ghana but it is still not clear why some infants become malnourished and others do not. Feeding behaviour could be a contributing factor. Therefore we aimed to determine the association between child and maternal feeding behaviour and nutritional status of infants 6-24 months in the Volta Region of Ghana.
