Main Results:

  • Care practices are essential for translating available resources into positive child outcomes.
  • Caregiver resources, including time, skills, motivation, and decision-influencing ability, are vital but often overlooked.
  • In resource-poor environments, the quality of care becomes even more critical for child survival and development.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare providers should assess and support home care practices, empowering caregivers.
  • Recognizing children's right to good nutrition and healthcare is paramount for their full potential.
  • Interventions must consider the interplay of socioeconomic factors and caregiving quality.
