The socioeconomic conditions, diet and nutrient intake of 497 lactating mothers residing in urban slums of Nagpur city was assessed. The average age of the lactating mothers was 24.11±3.35 years and majority (84.7%) got married between 15 to 20 years. 76.6 per cent mothers had nuclear family and the average family size was 6.02±1.34. About 25 per cent mothers and 21.1 per cent husbands were illiterate. The average monthly family income was Rs. 2486±1811.07. Only 46 mothers were working outside home as domestic servants in nearby locality. These mothers were contributing 24.48 per cent to their family income. For majority of mothers the period of lactational ammenorrhoea was six months. Most of the families were non-vegetarian and had two meal pattern. Results of the diet survey showed that the percent adequacy of only cereals and other vegetables was 72 per cent and 78 per cent respectively.
