Key child, household and hygiene factors—especially diarrhoea, low birthweight and low maternal education—significantly increase the risk of undernutrition, including stunting, underweight and wasting in young children across Sub-Saharan Africa, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. ABSTRACT Undernutrition increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, making it essential to identify and address its key determinants. This

ABSTRACT Positive mealtime interactions shape infant eating patterns potentially promoting appetite regulation. This study investigated whether caregivers who “tune-in” to their own internal affect and appetite cues, can also recognise and respond to their infant’s appetite cues via responsive feeding (RF). Caregivers (N = 445; mean age: 33.5 ± 4.7 years) with children aged 5–28 m participated in an online survey
