Millets for little ones: child feeding practices and nutritional profile of millet-based foods in Telangana, India
Mothers of under-five children in Telangana India have good knowledge of millets. However, 40% of them did not provide millet to the children regularly. The children who consumed millets had better anthropometric indicators compared to those who did not consume. There is a need to strengthen the food labeling practices on RTC and RTE millet-based foods.
