ABSTRACT
This study
aims to determine the trends and patterns of infant and young child feeding
practice in Nigeria using nationally representative data from NDHS (Nigerian
demographic health survey). Data was collected from 2003-2018 from NDHS,
appended together after extracting important variables. Data was analyzed using
SPSS version 23.0. Analysis was done at descriptive, univariate, bivariate and
multivariate levels. The outcome of the variables measured based on World
Health Organization guideline on IYCF (infant and young child feeding). From
the study surveyed, results showed that the percentage of children who received
dietary 'diversity decreased from 2003-2018.The percentage of children who
consumed bread, noddles and grains in a population of 11686 in 2003, 45626 in
2013 and 46802 in 2018 decreased from (65.9%-62.1%), starchy roots and
vegetables'(24.2%-19.9%), Eggs(44.8%-10.5%), yellow and orange vegetables
(16.3%- 6.9%), Green leafy vegetables (31.2%-29.0), Meat (44.8-10.5%), Vitamin
Arich fruits such as papaya and mangoes (22.3%-3.3%), Other fruits
(21.8-12.3%), liver, kidney and heart (13.5%-2.5%), shellfish or fish
(44.4%-17.8%), cheese or other milk products (13.9%- 9.9%) and the percentage
of children who were currently on breastfeeding reduced from (34.1-31.4%).

guideline which needs to be adopted to improve dietary diversity and
nutritional intake ofinfants and young children.
