Background: Lack of attention at feeding aspect among LBW neonates may results in hypoglycaemia, infections, convulsion, aspiration, and other complications.Therefore, present study aims to improve knowledge of nursing undergraduates by giving them educational package on feeding practices in low birth weight neonates to reduce complications and improvement in weight gain of neonates. Method: Quantitative pre experimental research design was utilized in the current study project. Fifty nursing undergraduates were selected for the study as samples by utilizing non probability purposive sampling technique. Results: The mean pre test knowledge scores were 14.32 ± 3.61, whereas mean post test knowledge score was 23.36 ± 3.24. The post test mean value knowledge score among nursing undergraduates was significantly higher than the pre test knowledge score regarding feeding practices in low birth weight neonates. The paired student “t” test value was 13.4796 which was significant at P=0.001 level. The findings revealed that there was no significant association between knowledge score with demographic variables. Conclusion: Study concluded that feeding practices in low birth weight neonates should be given more weight-age for overall growth and to reduce complications among neonates.
