Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-post test design with single group research was aimed to study the effect of Local foods education on mother knowledge and anthropometry of child. Paired-T tests were used to analyze the effects of local foods education on mother knowledge and child anthropometry 6-21 months. Results: This study showed the mean differences of mother knowledge 10.91 (p=0.000), anthropometry of child weight-for-age 0.20 (±0.54) (p=0.037), height/length-for�age 0.01 (±0.23) (p=0.711), weight-for-height/length 0.31 (±.76) (p=0.025), head circumference-for-age 0.27(±0.43) (p=0.001), and chest circumference-for-age 9.12(±10.11) (p=0.000). All variables had a significant effect after local food education p<0.05 except height-for-age which p>0.05.
