The first thousand days of life which starts from the conception until the child reach two year of age is a critical period in determining the health of said child for the rest of his due to this period being the peak of the child growth and development. As a child grows and develops after the first 6 months, breastmilk alone would not be able to sustain all the nutritional needs of the child, therefore requiring complementary feeding for the process of development and fulfilling the nutritional needs. This study aims to determine the correlation between complementary feeding and nutritional status of children aged 12-24 months in Manado. This research is an analytical research utilizing cross-sectional approach in 5 community health centres area of Manado.
