Summary: This study explored the longitudinal relationship of maternal depressive symptoms and other psychosocial factors with infant feeding practices (IFPs) in rural Ethiopia.

However, household food insecurity, severe food insecurity, and infant morbidity episodes were unexpectedly associated with higher scores on the IFP index.
