2 Introduction The global prevalence of stunting amongst children below five years was recorded at 22.9% in year 2016, with Malaysia recording a stunting prevalence of 17.7%.(UNICEF et al., 2017) The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2016 reported stunting among children below five years at 20.7%; and 23.1% for the state of Sarawak.(Aris et al., 2016)
3 Introduction The Third National Plan of Action for Nutrition, Malaysia contains specified targets to improve infant young child feeding practices and nutritional status of children (NCCFN, 2016). In addition, it has also been noted that there is a lack of data on quality of complementary feeding given to children in Malaysia (NCCFN, 2011).
4 This study is part of an infant young child feeding research amongst Penan children aged below 24 months. Study was conducted in Belaga District, Sarawak.

11 Introduction The study objective presented here is to explore factors contributing to poor feeding practices amongst Penan children aged below 24 months.
12 Methodology This qualitative study is part of a larger infant young child feeding research carried out in Belaga District, Sarawak beginning from Qualitative data collection was carried out in 2 localities in Belaga district, Sarawak between December 2016 to June Purposive sampling A total of 17 in-depth interviews were conducted. Respondents were Penan mothers with children aged below 24 months.
13 Methodology In-depth interviews were conducted inside the living room of respondents homes. Interviews were recorded after obtaining permission and also written consent from mothers. Recorded interviews were transcribed using ExpressScribe Pro transcription software version Thematic analysis was carried out using Atlas.ti software version and initial codes were generated and collated into subthemes reflecting the main themes in this study.
14 Results (Socio-Demographic) Child s age Mother s age Mother s education Household income category 0-5 months 6-11 months months months < 25 years years years No formal schooling Primary school Secondary school n (%) 2 (11.8) 4 (23.5) 3 (17.6) 8 (47.1) 12 (70.6) 4 (23.5) 1 (5.9) 11 (64.7) 4 (23.5) 2 (11.8) Hard-core poor 17 (100)
15 Results & Discussion 1. Poor complementary feeding. 2. Observance of specific food taboos. 3. Communalistic food-sharing. 4. Mothers reporting limited access to food. 5. Low nutrition knowledge.
16 Theme 1. Poor complementary feeding Sub-theme early complementary feeding late introduction of foods from animal-sources feeding only vegetables when meat was unavailable feeding a limited variety of fruits and vegetables Complementary foods given consisted of local staples mainly rice and sago. More than half of respondents reported starting complementary foods at 6 months.
17 Theme 1. Poor complementary feeding Sub-theme early complementary feeding late introduction of foods from animal-sources feeding only vegetables when meat was unavailable feeding a limited variety of fruits and vegetables 5 mothers started complementary foods as early as at 1 month, 3 months and at 5 months. Reasons given for early complementary feeding include their baby wanted to eat or mothers did not have enough breastmilk.
18 Theme 1. Poor complementary feeding Sub-theme early complementary feeding late introduction of foods from animal-sources feeding only vegetables when meat was unavailable feeding a limited variety of fruits and vegetables Several mothers reported late introduction of animal-source foods; namely at 7 to 9 months and also at age 1 year. Reason given was because their child did not ask for it. Mothers also reported feeding only vegetables when meat was unavailable, meat meaning fish, pork or chicken.
19 In terms of feeding vegetables, 11 mothers said vegetables are good for their children because it made their children healthy. However, only a limited variety of vegetables and fruits were given. 6 mothers reported giving only cassava shoots. Fruit given to children was banana.
20 Nearly 30% infants (4 to 5 months) are already fed solid foods (White et al., 2017). 67% mothers had given solid foods earlier than 4 months (Inayati et al., 2012). Intake of fruits and vegetables was low in several regions of the world, and at 29.2% in East Asia and Pacific region. Higher intake of fruits and vegetables was reported among children from urban areas and the richest households in all world regions (White et al., 2017).
21 Theme 2. Having limited access to food Sub-theme difficulty in getting meat difficulty in getting fish difficulty in getting fruits and vegetables Chicken was sometimes not available because mothers did not have money to buy chicken. Pork and fish was sometimes unavailable if men did not have a successful hunting or fishing trip. Another reason given was lack of means to go hunting or fishing, for example money to buy petrol and transportation.
22 Theme 2. Having limited access to food Sub-theme difficulty in getting meat difficulty in getting fish difficulty in getting fruits and vegetables When mothers were asked if their household had ever run out of rice, 6 mothers said yes. Furthermore 7 mothers reported difficulty getting food to be given to their children. Some said when meat and vegetables were unavailable, they would feed plain porridge, with added salt.
23 Theme 2. Having limited access to food Sub-theme difficulty in getting meat difficulty in getting fish difficulty in getting fruits and vegetables Reason given by mothers was sometimes vegetables planted did not thrive and the soil was hard. Banana was planted nearby longhouse. An important dietary feature, was a frequent lack of leafy vegetable (Anderson, 2015).
24 Theme 3. Observance of specific food taboos Sub-theme not feeding certain types of meat and fish not feeding ferns and bitter vegetables 9 mothers reported they did not give pork and also other meat like deer. Some refrained from giving for fear of child getting diarrhea; and some mothers said it was not usually eaten by themselves or forbidden by their mother (meaning the child s grandmother). Certain types of fish which were perceived to be bony was also not given for fear child would choke.
25 Theme 3. Observance of specific food taboos Sub-theme not feeding certain types of meat and fish not feeding ferns and bitter vegetables Negative attributes associated with animal source foods: fish had bones; fish might cause worm infestation or diarrhea; meat was hard to swallow (Rasheed et al., 2011)
26 Theme 3. Observance of specific food taboos Sub-theme not feeding certain types of meat and fish not feeding ferns and bitter vegetables Some mothers also reported not giving ferns due to it being strong smelling and might cause their child to vomit, if given in excess amounts. Besides ferns, bitter vegetables were also not given. The findings in this study are similar to earlier study, whereby lactating mothers avoided strong smelling foods, which mothers believed would pass into breastmilk and might cause diarrhea (Anderson, 2015)
27 Theme 4. Communalistic food-sharing is practiced, especially sharing of rice, pork and chicken meat. This practice has also been reported previously by Anderson, 2015 and Chen, 1984: whereby meat obtained via hunting would be divided equally between households. In this study, food-sharing might be practiced among households belonging to extended family members only and not the entire longhouse. Nearly all mothers interviewed expressed positive views regarding food-sharing or traditional way of life, although there is awareness that their way of life is changing.
28 5. The fifth theme in this study is low nutrition knowledge. Some mothers reported not knowing what foods were good for their children, one mother also listed snack foods as good for her child. More information is needed by family members, not only regarding importance of not giving complementary foods before 6 months, but also information regarding suitable foods to be given (Thet et al., 2016)
29 Conclusion Factors contributing to poor feeding practices include inappropriate complementary feeding (starting solid foods too early, late introduction of animal-source foods, giving limited variety of vegetables and fruits). In addition, low diet diversity and inadequate quantity of complementary foods was due to limited access to foods and food taboos. Effort to improve feeding practices amongst children in this vulnerable population should also address food availability.
