Abstract

Background: Appropriate complementary feeding practice is needed to support physical growth and cognitive development. The practice was more challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the impact of economic disruption such as labour reduction or unemployment and a decrease in household income level. Animal source foods (ASFs) are an important component of complementary feeding because of their role in increasing dietary diversity and providing essential sources of proteins. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the association between the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on household economic aspects and the consumption of ASFs in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 574 Indonesian mothers of 6 to 23-months-old children. Data were obtained through online self-administered questionnaires including consumption of ASFs in complementary feeding and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on household economic aspects. To analyse the bivariate associations between the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on household economic aspects and household income level with ASFs consumption, a Chi-square test was used. Multivariate analyses were analysed using logistic regression tests. Results: Majority (92.2%) of the children reported consuming any type of ASFs in the preceding 24 hours. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on household income, household food purchasing ability, father's employment, and mother's employment with ASF consumption was statistically significant. The types of ASF given to children in complementary foods are eggs (65.9%), dairy products (61.7%), processed meat (54.9%), fish or seafood (53%), meat (43.9%), poultry (34.7%) and organ meats (26.8%). Food group 4 (dairy products) and food group 5 (flesh food) were associated with household economic level, while consumption of food group 6 (egg) was not statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that child’s age and minimum dietary diversity contributed to ASFs consumption. Conclusions: All economic impact aspects of COVID-19 pandemic affect ASFs consumption on complementary feeding. However, to increase the consumption of ASFs on complementary feeding, other policies targeting improvements in food security should be considered. KEYWORDS: animal source protein; complementary feeding, COVID-19 pandemic
