Participants were interviewed at recruitment and at two months postpartum. Maternal CMD was measured using the locally validated Self-Reported Questionnaire score of six indicating high levels of CMD . Infant anthropometry was recorded at six and twelve months of age. Result The prevalence of CMD was 12 during pregnancy and 5 at the two month postnatal time-point. In bivariate analysis antenatal CMD which had resolved after delivery predicted underweight at twelve months OR 95 CI . There were no other statistically significant differences in the prevalence of underweight or stunted infants in mothers with high levels of CMD compared to those with low levels. The associations between CMD and infant nutritional status were not significant after adjusting for pre-specified potential confounders. Conclusion Our negative finding adds to the inconsistent picture emerging from SSA. The association between CMD and infant undernutrition might be modified by study methodology as well as degree of shared parenting among family members making it difficult to extrapolate .
