This quantitative pre-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an interventional package on the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding weaning among 30 mothers of infants using pretest-posttest design from an Anganwadi. The intervention comprised of audio-visual teaching materials and informational pamphlets. Results indicated that, there was a significant improvement in the outcomes such as, 83.33% of mothers showed adequate knowledge, 76.67% had a positive attitude, and 90% exhibited good practice.
