ABSTRACT
The infant feeding and weaning patterns of 175 Saudi Arabian children from good socioeconomic status was obtained through interviewing their mothers. Data revealed that 91.4% of children were breast fed [11.4% exclusively breast fed + 80.0% supplemented breast feeding] and 8.6% were artificially fed. Breast feeding continued for more than two years. About 74% of the children were still breast fed in their second year of life. The mean age of complete weaning was 16.4 months. Supplementary feeding started early where 53.1% of children were first given their food supplement in the age period of 3-5 months. Two third of mothers were experiencing the correct practices in feeding and weaning their infants
