Abstract: 【Objective】 To know about the status and demands of infants' parents for children's nutrition and feeding, in order to give more targeted guidance. 【Method】 The parents of children aged from 0 to 18 months in 15 cities were investigated with a self-reported questionnaire about the status and demands for children's nutrition and feeding. 【Results】 In children aged up to 6 months, the rate of pure breastfeeding was 31% and 43% had introduced solid food. Half of the children aged 6 months broke breast milk and all of the children aged 12 months did so. The first food that introduced was mainly rice flour or yolk. The children had a lot of eggs and only a few of meats. The nutritional supplements that parents fed were mainly cod-liver oil and calcium preparations. Parents were patient with feeding and paid much attention to the training of eating behavior. Parents liked to be guided by face-to-face interview, magazines and lectures. The courses that parents desired varied in accordance with children's ages except for "children's nutritional requirements" and "prevention and control of common diseases". 【Conclusions】 The infants' parents in urban areas are in need of improvement as to nutrition and feeding knowledge, and it is necessary to give targeted guidance.
