A cross sectional study was done about knowledge of mothers with children below 2 year of age with help of pretested self-designed questionnaire based interview who are attending paediatrics OPD and IPD.In our study most of mothers did not know correct time of starting complementary feeding, they also did not know what food can be given, frequency and amount of complementary feed.In our study knowledge, attitude as well as practise towards complementary feeding was lacking hence health education to mother and family members required about correct feeding in early years of life.
