According to the conceptual framework formulated by UNICEF of the causes of malnutrition, nutrition intake and diseases are the direct determinant of child survival, growth and development. This study aimed at exploring some possible factors related to nutritional status of children from 6 to 24 months. Random sample of 201 mother child pair attending Othman Primary Health Care Center (PHC) in Shobra El Khema city (Kalyoubia governorate) were included in the study. A questionnaire was designed to collect data about demographic and socioeconomic background of child parents, feeding pattern of children, history of child morbidity and child weight and recumbent length. The study showed that about (14.5%) of studied children were stunted and (13.9%) were overweight. Inappropriate feeding practice, low birth weight, parent illiteracy negatively affect nutrition status. The study recommended to nutritional education of nursing mothers about appropriate child feeding practice to improve the nutritional status of children younger than two years.
