Background/Objectives: Optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices are crucial to addressing the double burden of malnutrition (DBM), encompassing undernutrition (including micronutrient deficiencies) overnutrition. This study examined demographic socioeconomic determinants IYCF practices, their impacts on DBM among 2039 Vietnamese children aged 6–23 months from General Nutrition Survey 2020. Methods: Thirteen indicators recommended by WHO/UNICEF were evaluated. Associations between outcome variables assessed using logistic regressions. Results: The prevalence stunting, underweight, overweight subjects was 10.9%, 5.6%, 3.1%, respectively. Low serum zinc affected 56.7% children, while 14.3% had low retinol, 31.2% anemia, 34.6% iron deficiency (ID). Only 36.7% achieved minimum dietary diversity (MDD), 29.0% acceptable diet (MAD). Children younger age group (6–11 months), ethnic minorities, those living in rural/mountainous regions, poorer wealth quintiles reduced odds meeting criteria, including MDD MAD. Infants stunting [adjusted ratio (95% confidence intervals): 0.61 (0.41, 0.92)], ID [0.69 (0.54, 0.88)]. MAD anemia [0.72 (0.57, 0.91)], [0.66 (0.52, 0.84)], retinol [0.63 0.99)].
