ABSTRACT
A clinic based cross-sectional study was conducted at Immunoprophylaxis Clinic at Govt. Medical College, Nagpur. Mothers of 217 children were interviewed for infant feeding practices. In 62.67% of children, breast-feeding was initiated within 24 hrs. after birth. About 22% mother used prelacteal feed and 70% mothers preferred demand feeding. Prominent area of concern includes discarding of colostrum, low exclusive breast feeding rate, delayed weaning and early termination of breast feeding. Further improvement in present day infant feeding practices is possible by emphasising on the health education component of existing nutritional programmes.
