    Objective: To analyze the knowledge and practices of mothers of children aged 6 to 12 months regarding complementary feeding. Materials and Methods: The research follows a quantitative approach, using a hypothetical-deductive method, general observation, applied type, non-experimental cross-sectional and correlational design. The methodology is of a quantifiable nature, descriptive, and non-experimental in design. The study was conducted with a population of 108 mothers, with a sample of 84 mothers who participated through two instruments: a 17-item questionnaire to assess knowledge of complementary feeding and a 20-item questionnaire to evaluate practices regarding complementary feeding. The study focuses on two variables: knowledge and practices related to complementary feeding.The results will be collected using the survey technique and the aforementioned instruments, which have a validity of 93% according to Aiken's V and a binomial test with a P value of 0.00098. The reliability of the instruments is confirmed with a Kuder-Richardson coefficient of 0.720 and a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.770, respectively. For data processing, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0 will be used, along with Excel for Windows 2016 for data entry. A structured database matrix will be utilized for data entry based on the measurement instruments. Descriptive results will be presented in tables and figures to demonstrate the levels developed for each variable and dimension. Inferential results will also be obtained to test the study hypotheses using Spearman's Rho coefficient.
