This research was conducted in the districts of Ate and Lurigancho in Lima, Peru, in populations “La Era” and “Huaycan” respectively. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of a nutrition education program to promote improved knowledge and good practices on complementary feeding in mothers with children 6-36 months of age, based on recommended guiding principles of WHO/FAO. The education program was conducted in two groups: one group of mothers were trained individually through home visits and the other group of mothers were trained in groups sessions in a Health Center. Informed consent was given by the participants. The educational program used didactic educational materials, recipe demonstrations and complementary feeding guides. The study was applied during six months. Knowledge and practices were evaluated through the application of a pre and post test, including contextual information of de mothers. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 20.0. Group comparisons were made using the T - student test. Results showed that 100 % of mothers reached a high level of knowledge and 88.5 % reported good practices in the post test with the complementary feeding program
