Selected demographic variables, feeding pattern, age of administration and type of different complementary foods and frequency of these food items were recorded.
Measurement of weight and height or length by standard procedures was done for all infants and children recruited in the study.
Anthropometric data were applied to appropriate charts : weight for length Z score, weight for age Z-score and height for age Z-score which were estimated according to CDC / WHO charts.
all studied children were underweight ; (93.6 %) wasted and (87.3 %) were stunted, (9.5 % and 90.5 %) were with severe and moderate wasting respectively, (38 % and 62 %) with severe and moderate stunting respectively, (45.9 %, 54 %) with severe and moderate underweight respectively.
Study of feeding pattern of malnourished children has revealed that (28.7 %) were on breastfeeding ; (36.9 %) formula feeding & (34.4 %) with mixed feeding.
