Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional disorder, even in the current era. Adequate nutrition during infancy and early childhood is essential to ensure the growth, health, and development of children to their full potential. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of nutrition education on hemoglobin concentration of infants aged 6-18 months. Material and Methods: 300 mothers from Indore city participated in the study. Mothers were divided randomly in to experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). EG mothers received nutrition education at fixed interval whereas CG mothers did not receive any education. Pathological reports were considered for assessing hemoglobin levels and then grade of anemia was decided. Results: At baseline, the mean hemoglobin (Hb) level for EG and CG was observed to be 12.13±1.33gm% and 11.40±1.29gm% respectively. At Phase I, a significant drop in Hb concentration was observed in both EG and CG (p<0.01). Continuous nutrition education resulted in significant rise in HB levels in EG at Phase II as compared to CG (p<0.01). In CG, a significant increase in infants suffering from mild and moderate anemia was seen (p<0.01) whereas no change was observed in EG. Conclusion: There is a real need for parental education for sound and correct child rearing practices and, in particular, advice on how, when and why and with to feed the child. If nutrition could be improved at this age, there might be beneficial effects on growth and health of infants in the short run. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve traditional complementary foods in terms of energy density and bioavailability of macro and micro nutrients.
