Background: Infant feeding practices have a major role in determining the nutritional status of a child. About 60% of all deaths among children <5years of age are directly or indirectly, attributed to malnutrition. The present study was conducted to compare impact of breastfeeding practices on the nutritional status of the infants among the working and non-working women. Material & Methods: A total of 100 subjects were included in each group. Pretested structured performs were given for working mother group and non working mother group with specific questionnaires. The following parameters were noted weight, length, head circumference, chest circumference and entered into the follow-up chart. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered for statistical significance. Results: Maximum mothers in working group initiate breastfeeding in 1-5 hours (40%) followed by <1/2(35%). In non-working mothers group maximum mothers initiate breastfeeding in <1/2hour (56%) followed by 1-5hours (30%). Exclusivity of breastfeeding between working mothers group and non-working mothers group shows statistically significant difference at 18weeks, 24 weeks. Weight of female infant shows significant difference between working and non working mothers. Head circumference, Length and Chest circumference shows significant difference between male infants of both groups. Conclusion: The present study concluded that weight of female infant shows significant difference between working and non working mothers whereas head circumference, length and chest circumference shows significant difference between male infants of both groups.
