Abstract Objectives Optimal complementary feeding (CF) practices among children 6–23 months can prevent childhood malnutrition and can improve long term development and health. Our study aimed to understand CF practices in children 6–23 months, as part of an ongoing nutrition program (with a focus on improving dietary diversity) in UP, India. Methods Mothers of children 6–23 months old were interviewed in 125 blocks across 25 districts of UP (N = 34,290). We assessed dietary intake using 24-hour dietary recalls and calculated minimum dietary diversity (MDD, 4 + food groups) and age-appropriate minimum meal frequency (MMF). We used multivariate logistic regression to test for associations between MDD and program exposure variables, such as frontline worker (FLW) CF knowledge, home visits by FLWs, and FLW counseling on age-appropriate CF practices, controlling for age, caste, religion, mother's education level, birth order and sex of the child. Results Merely 22% of children 6–8 months old received any semisolid/solid food the previous day, and even at 1 year of age, only 60% children received any CF. Fourteen % of all children and 5% of children 9–11 months received age-appropriate MMF. Children 6–23 months old had poor diets with only 11% reaching MDD. Only 3% of younger children (6–11 months) and 18% of children 12–23 months reached MDD. In children 12–23 months, starchy staples, pulses, other fruits and vegetables (F&V) and dairy products were consumed in higher proportions (65%, 52%, 36% and 36% respectively) while Vitamin-A rich F&V, eggs and flesh foods were rarely consumed (11%, 2% and 3.1% respectively). Higher odds of achieving MDD were associated with FLWs CF knowledge (OR: 3.2; 95% CI: 2.2–4.5), home visit by FLWs in the past month (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.1–1.4) and counselling by FLWs on age-appropriate CF practices (OR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2–1.7) were positively associated with MDD. Conclusions CF practices in children 6–23 months old in these 25 districts in UP are suboptimal. Dietary diversity in this age group can be improved by improving FLW knowledge and quantity and quality of FLW interactions with families. Results suggest a need for targeted age-specific counselling to increase meal frequency and to introduce a greater variety of foods to younger children.
