N2 - Sub-optimum nutrition among children remains an important problem among South Asian families in the UK. Appropriate complementary feeding practices in the first 2 years of life greatly reduce the risk of obesity and stunting. The UK diaspora is hypothesised to have similar complementary feeding practices to their countries of origin (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh); if so, this could inform practice in the UK via reverse translation of evidence. We aimed to undertake a systematic review and narrative synthesis of studies assessing complementary feeding practices, and the beliefs that underpin them, in children under 2 years old within South Asian families living in the UK, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
